Cubalaya Thread For Sharing Pics and Discussing Our Birds

[cubalaya]

I feel like I’m butting in on a conversation here because this isn’t a cubalaya question but were these the birds ordered from sandhill preservation? I am considering ordering from them next year but i have never ordered chicks before and they are almost 12 hours from me. Can you tell me more about your experience with them?

Yes from sandhill . Not a good experience. 27 birds shipped. 12 lived. One BB red Cubalaya wheaton pullet. I truly wanted some of his red pyle Cubalayas but not one lived. If you order, make it later in the season like May or June ship date

Thank you! I will make a note of it!

Oh well, if i really want some red pyles, i have the genetics in some of my whites and i have a wheaton pullet so could raise some. I doubt if i will. I am building a new chicken coop for different breeds of layers just so i can have a colorful egg basket year around. Will probably keep one hen of each of these breeds: Cuckoo Maran, White Empordanesa, Easter egger, Black Ameraucana, Black Australorp, Black Dorking, Buff Orpington, Silver laced Wyandotte, Wheaton Cubalaya, and White Cubalaya along with the birds already here

I hardly sell live birds anymore, toward the end of 2024 I went from 100+ bantam and standard combined to 27 birds. Eleven standard and the rest are bantam.
I have mostly blacks, a couple whites and a blue hen in standard size.
In bantams I have a couple duns, one solid pullet and a golden crow wing cockerel, a couple wheaten hens, a khaki breeding male, four blues and six blacks.

Do you know where I can get some standard size whites?
