GFF says 4 lbs, but a svart honas thread on here from 2013 says 7-8. The breeder said there's no standard, but I do know the AC are considered to have a lean "gamefowl" type. The other cockerel had nicer tail but his comb fell over, so I avoided him. This pullet has a slight lean in her comb, so I'll have to watch that. Some of the pullets had high angles on their tails like seramas, but this one is a little more like the sussex "type." I asked the breeder about the tail angle, but she didn't have a preference.

The pullet is 10 months and cockerel is 6-7. Newfie's are younger, so not sure on type. All the parent stock I've seen is either GFF or Ewe Crazy Farms, so I don't think there's a lot of variety. BUT I think I remember hearing that GFF has four different pens.

From what I've read, the SH were imported from Mozambique to Sweden ??? years ago. I think that's why they have the rounder type and smaller combs than the more Mediterranean looking AC.

It's all really interesting!

The breeder had two roos with silver leakage in their hackles, making them look a bit birchen. She said that her first order didn't have that problem, but she lost most of them to a predator. So I'm anticipating heavy culls, which I think I remember birdman mentioning.

I think the black/silver bleed through could make stunning babies with a lavender something.

Chicken breeding is a big hobby in SE Asia. Ayam Cemani are from Indonesia originally, and they look like a game fowl dipped in ink! Not the best layers, pretty flighty, so I think they were mixed with Javas to get the Svart Honas, which are much more useful. I wonder if you could get the fibromelanism in a huge Langshan or Brahma. Wouldn't that be imposing?? Or inky Serama would be neato!

You'll be able to come up with some beautiful critters, I think! And I'm really glad you are good at taking pictures so we get to see. I have vicarious SHs now too!

The will when I did it  Mentally retarded.    Taught life skill in the home.  Cooking, shopping, socialization, appropriate behavior,  managing money ,  medications,   those types of things or at least as far as they were capable of learning them.    I usually ended up with the "behavior" clients.     Had one pick up a lazy-boy and throw it across the room at me. 

You get more interesting the more I learn about you.

A very rewarding job that must have been twist when you saw the results of helping them. I'm not sure about the lazy-boy though!!

it was and I enjoyed doing it but then then Dad got sick and mother passed and then the State tried o BS so I quit. That is how I got stuck in the motel business. LOL

I ALWAYS made sure to have both the client and family members on my side before bucking the system. And a good paper trail.

Quote: "Deutsch" is German, but it's sounds very similar to dutch language. Do the Amish teach you lots of swear words?

(I had to look it up to spell it, but you were pretty close, Twist!)

and that would be why I got out of working with the Developmentally Disabled.
System is set up to serve the system NOT the clients.
EXACTLY!!!

One of the reasons I never got back into teaching!
