Duane Urch

This was taken at our local poultry show last October. Duane is in the green plaid and his wife is in the red/blue/green plaid. Super nice people and great birds too.

Anybody have pictures if his white cochin bantams? How can I contact him? What other bantam breeds does he own?

Vamvakas, I would love to see photos of your Urch NNs when they come!

Gave Duane a call just now for an update on my order coming soon.. So far a lot of his breeds are sold out or not laying well. I asked him if his red NN were laying good he said yes

.

For my 2nd breed of choice/backup it was a black Jersey Giants he said they are laying like crap and warned me for a 3rd breed. After naming a few breeds and he said "sold out" I said "how about Black Australorps" I figure they get huge and look like black giants he said "there're laying fine", so that's my other choice. He tried to get me to buy/pick buckeyes (I guess they're laying good) I said "no thanks". So if you're looking for buckeyes Duane is your man.

Here is one of my buff Cochin bantams from Duane this year - His Janaury 14 hatch. I ordered through 4-H with a bunch of other people. Everyone got more pullets than cockerels. I got 5 from him and only one was a cockerel, which was surprising, since last year almost everyone got a bunch more cockerels than pullets.

BTW - All of the Cochins I've ever got from him have been the sweetest things.

I have seen his partridge, actually. They were definetly not the best quality. His LF partridge that I did see had vulture hawks. If it was not for that, the bird would have been excellent. The other one I saw was a cross between a Bantam/LF and had some minor faults, with vulture hawks as well. The other Cochins bantams I have gotten from him have not had vulture hawks and the pullet in my avatar from him actually took a BB/BV out of 6 other birds at a show.
