Hey Rodruegis, looked over your Langshans, greatstuff...Keep up the good work.
Nice birds. Is that one a chocolate? beautiful bird
I too have seen a couple hatchery birds that have done well..I have seen some breeder birds that were spectacular and I have seen a few breeders somehow have these outstanding birds but suddenly a big color problem willcrop up, It usually never a small thing. I have seen some pretty outstanding strange things happen in breeder birds, lord only knows where these things crop up from,a previous experiment or too much inbreeding? Not sure.
With hatcheries you have to sift hrough a lot to find one or 2 decent birds, ..I just bought some breeders australorps, bigger and better lets say..somone already put in the time to make them better. Some breeds are very tough to find from any breeder and some are not just depends on what your looking for....Its a long journey to find australorps.the greats are in australia. most hatcheries will sometimes put things that dont really belong in the breed to be correct.. probably to give them larger hatch.
I know everyone says get from breeders only, but just know that some breeds are very -- very tough to find...I have been on a 20 year journey to find some decent australorps, after all this time I only just recently found some show breeder birds, a lot of these people are very busy and dont get on the internet much. one breeder was right in my back yard the whole time and I didnt even know it as they dont do the internet but you can sure see thier name in APA winnings. Never realized they were that close to me.
