Last chance to register for the TN Valley Fair! Registration closes on the 23rd! I'm bringing a whole slew of mottled cochins to show and a ton of cochin cross pullets to sell.

I am in Elizabethton and will gladly take in any roos that people have, if you can accept the fact that they have a pretty good chance of being eaten. I try to place as many roos as I can with people through Craigslist, and most of my roos find homes, but I do eat what I can't home!
Wonderful! Can't speak for everyone, but I have no problem with it. Would you mind emailing me your name and number and any other contact info. We r still getting things together, so unsure when we will be going before the city council (mayb in Sept/Oct), but we will be giving them your name and telling them that you agree to take the roos. Would u mind providing us with a statement saying u do agree. We need to be as prepared as possible when we go before them and we could give them your statemnt so they can verify if need be. My email, [email protected]

Partridge is a color of the Plymouth Rocks. There are seven colors reconized for large breed, white, barred, partridge,sliver penciled, buff, columbian and blue. I am just working on the Partridge color of rocks. Since I free range that is all I will have for now.
Sorry... I did not mean to word it that way. I guess when I think Plymouth Rocks, I think Barred automatically. I just could not tell from the pics and probably the age (and also because we have never owned any, LOL)
I meant to say barred and Partridge at any rate

Darling! Does OEG only come in bantum?
They come in standard and bantam... I prefer the bantams. For one, I don't have to worry about rehoming males. With standards I would be worrying about people using them as bait birds or training them. For the same reason, I don't dub them either... that and I just don't want to. lol
They are, as nearly all bantams I have found, very sweet. I have had standard strays show up and they were flighty... but they were strays. Anytime you have a "game" you are closer to the true jungle fowl... kinda like having a wolf-hybrid... you are just closer to the wild, raw genetics - they make better mothers, better foragers, but also males are more territorial. There again... bantams, being smaller, are less likely to do real damage to each other if they do happen to get into it with each other. I got a Silver Duckwing OEGB roo named "Mister" who when he ranges (supervised) he goes straight to the standard Dels and tries to start something with "Big Boy" my main stud Delaware roo. lol. It's funny because Big Boy just looks at him like, "what?" LOL!!
Highly recommend the bantams... in any color you like. From white to blue to black to partridge to mottled to barred to one of my favorites.... red pyle.

She is awesome! Love it! She might not ever lay for you... I got one birchen who never has laid a thing and is going on 3 years old... but she will sit on any egg she sees. And what a parent!!! her baby she has right now jumped down out of the coop yesterday while I cleaned the waterer... she didn't hesitate or look... just jumped out after her chick and jumped on top to make sure it was safe... once she realized it was safe, she went right into showing the baby what is safe to eat for a few minutes and then back in and out until the baby saw where the door was. Good momma! Best broody momma I have ever seen. Just can't beat the game instincts.

lol ive seen mny times, especially dogs mating through crates etc, or just tearing them open to get in or out. were there is a will, ther is a way! oh by thw way, females by non prized genes will retain them for years, and have been know when bred by a mutt, to then throw out mutt pups when bred even to other prized dogs. seen this myself only with one Doberman female that only got barely poked after bred to several amle, then let out on short leash on way home at rest stop for second it took for mutt to jump her and immediately kicked off, and she threw out all mutts, for next two or three breedings, that i personally saw.. so possible i know. sorry, so probably why most sell or destroy a female when a mutt or other has got on her..
Went to bed with a peeping bator beside my bed and woke up to at least 2 big pips! YAYAYAYAYAY
congrats on the babies.
