California - Northern

[sonoralinda]

Hi all, I'm from Sonora, CA but used to live in N CA most of my life in Happy Camp. I'm with you pullet, hen, rooster or cockerel.

...I'm trying to figure a pen for penedesencas, CL and U of A Blue's. I am leaning toward a CL male then I can also breed straight CL too. I figure just a couple of these breeds. Then one pen for extra roos, a new pen for bresse and I SHOULD be done adding chickens and pens.

I have some U of A Blue's coming this spring and also some Norwegian Jaerhon's that lay white eggs and are autosexing. Thinking that may make an interesting cross.
Please give more info/details about placing extra roos in another pen. Can it be close to the hens or not???

Do you ever post on the new Heritage thread Phase II that you started?

It seems to be going well now.

I actually did not start that thread, the BYC staff did. BYC Staff wanted to respect Bob Blosl by locking the original thread he started. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/400344/bob-blosls-heritage-large-fowl-thread

BYC staff moved many of the comments after his death to the Phase II thread and locked the original. It just so happened that the new thread was started with my post on the top.

The phase II thread was started by the BYC staff, but it still feels like Bob's thread. It is simply an extension of what Bob started and he deserves the credit, and kudos for the staff for honoring him by locking the original. For those of your who have not read the original Heritage Thread, I highly recommend that you do. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/400344/bob-blosls-heritage-large-fowl- and

After you read the original, you can move on to the Phase II thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/849075/heritage-large-fowl-thread-phase-ii

I have a question for those with the penedesenca OE cross: Does it really matter if the penedesenca is a …cock bird (political correctness here) or hen? I figured it does not, but I am wrong on occasion

. I'm trying to figure a pen for penedesencas, CL and U of A Blue's. I am leaning toward a CL male then I can also breed straight CL too. I figure just a couple of these breeds. Then one pen for extra roos, a new pen for bresse and I SHOULD be done adding chickens and pens.

the only thing with keeping pure Legbars in there with the Crele Penedesenca is the roosters look close and you don't want to keep a breeder that is not pure .Now if you have a separate run thats one thing. Just make sure to hatch them separately

Post an add with that word on craigslist and watch out, LOL. I am dreading a phone call in the near future from the elementary school office about " bad language" from my kids. That four letter "word" would be totally misunderstood when said by a child in a school setting.

Trisha

Oh yes!

Just tell the school that you will run a hatch for them at the school.

I can't do "cock bird" ... It's "cockerel" or "rooster" to me.

Just use Rooster.

Remember when you go to the show, the cages will be marked with C and K.

Oh yes, that would be a very interesting discussion.

Thanks for posting this for us, Ron! Just one question, where are the feathered legs??? Would it be R.C.F.L , S.C.F.L, and A.O.C.F.L.? I'm so looking forward to seeing the Langshans at this year's show!

We are going but we might have 2 issues. One if I'm taking 10 breese we might not have room and we will smell. 2 I get there at opening so we leave before dawn. Three I'm going to look for economy food on the way back so we will be stopping at feedstores. I'm not sure about the trip being fun for you. Oh and we have to stop at lodi on the way home.

Are we still meeting at the snack bar at 11?

Oh! What are you going to do in Lodi? Thats where I live!!
