Konza Prairie Rangers

[Arielle]

Renee, I had a few Konza hatch-- how do I tell the Konza from the one chocolate that hatched?? The chicks are pale yellow or dark, almost a black but not quite.

 

[ChooksChick]

As they lose their fuzz and get their first feathers, the chocolate should be apparent. There will be a clean or laced color to the chocolate, whereas the Konzas will have no clean chocolate brown among them. Are you ready for another batch of eggs? I wanted you to have more than a few!!

The pale yellow are certainly Konzas.

Let me know. I'll ship out again.

I'm glad they arrived well. Keep me updated!

updates and pictures forthcoming... I keep hoping my Choc Riock girl will go broody between now and then so I can give her a bunch but she is a broody tease... She will sit for a day and a half: growl and puff and cluck but she can't resist treats and if I am sharing them she is up and at em and doesn't go back for days,

Still holding out hope though it would be nice to have a broody raise some...but I admit that I miss brooding chicks. It's so much easier to make them love me. I am needy.

That would be great!! I need to shut off the incubator soon.

Of course small shipments of chicks like 10-15 ship really well this time of year. My first shipment of black copper marans were 11 chicks and they all made it.

Hola! I am in Kansas, and yes, heat tolerance for the brutal humid triple-digits is a must!

I have 3 'sons-of-Moby' growing out right now in nearly grown birds, and they are magnificent. I'm getting eggs again, after a mild bout of broodiness. I also have at least 4 pairs in the under 10 week set. 

I'm selling the older trios for $100, and will ship. I'm NPIP certified so they'll come with papers.

On the younger sets, I'm doing pairs for $50. 

I've decided to sell Moby, too- but haven't decided on the price. He's got bumblefoot, too, so I'm working on that. GIANT FEET. He's goofy

Sorry! Pushed the wrong button!
Hi Renee!
I sent you a message last night through eBay, wanting to know if you've sold Moby or all of his sons, yet? I WANT SOMETHING!
I live in Topeka, so I can pick up and wouldn't have to ship. I'm interested in Konza eggs, also, but haven't had good luck hatching so let me know what live birds you have, too!
Thanks!

 

[ChooksChick]

Well, Moby and his favorite 2 girls have gone to live in Topeka!

SilkieSilly came and got him today! I have a couple of his sons who may prove to be his very image, but The Man himself has left the building!

Great to see you Bev!

Quote: I'm going to let the Moby contribution settle out of the girls for a week or so- I want to send you birds whom we're sure are from this particular roo, as he has a perfect smooth patch for a comb! He's nearly as large, but I think of a meatier build than Moby...I should call him Marble!!

I'll ship beginning of next week, I anticipate.
