Chicken Breed Focus - Pyncheon

[Dovemaiden]

You know, I really wonder about using a material like that new mattress stuff they call " onpurple" have you seen the commercials with the eggs where they drop a pain of glass on them? The cost of the stuff would probably be prohibitive. . . but!

Need a pyncheon rooster with willow legs or will consider all options. eggs, juveniles

Has anyone gotten any closer in more recent year/months to finding leads on where to get true pyncheons? I see Dovemaiden hasn't been active for a good while. I just acquired 5 but they appear to be from some questionable genes. I would travel for good eggs or chicks.

I would love to get some eggs from someone who is working on them. I need some green legs, I have blue now, starting a project pen

My new flock.... 1 adult breeding pair, 6 youth.

Would like to research true historical breed characteristics and possibly trade eggs etc..

Note the cock was not dubbed, he suffered frostbite some time ago.

Beautiful! I think my 5 may turn out to be all females. At what age are you able to tell for sure? Mine are still fairly young and I've noticed for sure they're slower to mature.

If anyone has regular pyncheons with yellow legs, let me know. Thanks

My Pyncheon is the quietest bird I have. She isn't SOP but I really love this breed and hope to add some SOP Pyncheons to my flock at some point. I found this thread because I've been wondering if this breed is generally quite or if it's just my "Judy Blume"

Gorgeous, how are they at free-ranging? I would imagine them to be pretty good due to the fact they could fly to get away from predators.

They will fly into trees around yard. I keep mine in a huge coop, 10x10x6 cage, lots of room to fly around.
