Great! Always looking for more Java people to join us and work with these birds. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.

Don't worry about typing errors, we aren't that picky.

I'm just across the state from you in Cartersville (my folks live in Cleveland)

Let me know if I can help you in any way.....I don't have Javas, but glad to help however I can

As promised... however, I realized yesterday that this little broody has a single comb instead of the rose comb someone was looking for. Sorry.





Camera shy already!

Beautiful mom!
Cute baby!!!

Don't know how serious you are wanting to be with keeping and breeding Javas. You'll get "hatchery quality" birds ordering them from Ideal. I don't recall speaking with anyone about getting Javas from them, so I don't know how good they look. Of course if you aren't a stickler for getting birds that more closely resemble the Standard, then hatchery birds are fine.

Have not heard of Brick Cottage Farms off the top of my head but just looked them up and saw they are in VA. I may have talked online to them before but never heard them mention the name of their farm so can't place them right off the bat. Can't tell you much about them or what their Javas are like.

Javas need work pretty much no matter where they come from because they were kinda left out in the cold after the early 20th century. So unless you get older birds that have been hand picked for coming closer to looking like the Standard says they should look, you may or may not get Javas that are close to the Standard. And of course there is no perfect bird either.

Duane Urch in MN has Mottled Javas and he will ship chicks. The breeder that I got mine from originally is in S. TX and she will ship chicks. I haven't gotten my NPIP yet so cant ship chicks yet but may be able to later when you are ready for some. Have heard that Dick Horstmann, a poultry judge, is advertising now that he has Mottled Javas for sale. I think he is in PA.
