Hi everyone, does anybody have some Frizzle Buff Pekin hens available? I'm in Centurion but should be able to arrange a lift for them.

Hi Chas, i havent seen many good buff pekins yet, and no frizzled ones so far. I will keep an eye on the shows for you though, and if some come up will get some details for you.

Hi Andy, thanks. I was lucky to get a few in the beginning of the year. Took them to the Freestate Poultry show and fortunately they did pretty well (Breed champ, res breed champs). But I'm sitting with 4 roosters and only 3 hens. Thanks will appreciate if you can let me know if you hear of any frizzle buffs.

 

[AndyCap]

Thats great, congrats on the show!

If the roosters are frizzled you can breed them to a smooth buff hen.

Hi. Just doing the newbie thing. We're just south of Malmesbury, Western Cape. We started keeping chickens as natural pest controllers for our orchard. We've had one batch of ex-factory layers, which did well. When they "expired " we got some more, we thought, but they turned out to be broilers. No wonder our feed bill was so high and our egg count so low. We got rid of those today, and we're getting some Lohmanns tomorrow. So, time will tell. Ours have always been completely free range, just kept in a shade net and fenced area at night for protection against night time predators. So we're not new to chickens, but new to the site. I may post a pic when we get our "newbie birds".
