Just an update on where people are with the breed. Pics would be lovely too!

Knowing that the years of work put into Mr. Gerdes' flock was not lost would be wonderful to hear. Does the flock still exist? and if so, has progress been made with them?

It would be good to know how many there are now and an estimated date that theyere may be chicks available.

Looking for relatives of Marion R Nash for a project I am working on. Mr. Nash was a noted breeder of Lamonas and his work made it possible for others to enjoy this great breed.

been working on lamonas for a few years , , dont show them much , as I am picky , and they are usually out of condition as I keep them to breed only at this point , but I have a pic from a breeding pen this year taken about 2 weeks ago , I am using a male with slightly longer legs than desired for fertility , the hens all have really nice type , again this is out of a breeding pen.
