Lamona Chicken Fanciers Thread

[Outlier]

Greenfire farms just purchased a trio of Lamonas from this line. We are currently hatching chicks . If anyone wants to get in on the ground floor of this pm me.

Where is your original stock from? Is it a recreation or from the original blood lines?

Hello all! I just joined this website because I was looking for more information on the Lamonas I just bought. I’m hoping to become a breeder once these little guys mature, but I can’t figure out if there’s any way to tell if these are the original Lamona that there were supposedly still a few left out there, or if this is the new strain developed mostly by Greenfire farm. If anyone knows anything about that, I’d appreciate input.

Greenfire Farms is the biggest name in Lamonas. Or you could buy on EBay like I did, and probably not know which line they came from. If you want to wait six months, I also plan on selling . They’re out there, you just have to turn over some rocks.

I want to here from the person who voted "We currently have Lamona large fowl chickens."

Well, I have paid for the hatching eggs. So I marked I have them. Though they do want to remain confidential, I will definetly share any hatching eggs we egt from the flock that hatches.

Thanks Chris and Dan.

I did the same thing just recently! I’m now the proud owner of 6 little lamona chicks. I’m trying to track down others to hopefully swap with periodically. I figure the last thing any of us would want is to let our special little flocks get too inbred and damage what’s left of the breed. Let me know if you’d ever be interested.

Dan is correct. Instead of recreating the Lamonas, we need to preserve the original bloodline. We are supposed to get some White Dorking hatching eggs "if" they are available. Using White dorking, White Leghorn and White Plymouth Rock from good lines, we can outcross to one, take the pullets back to a "pure" Lamona male, outcross to the next breed, then back to the Lamona. We will keep a Lamona line and outcross lines. But we must keep at least a percentage of the original Lamona bloodline in the breed.

Pardon me, I’m new (I have 6 Lamona chicks right now), but from experience with other rare livestock, I would think it would be FAR better for the breed if the few of us who have purebreds make deals to trade our best roosters on a regular basis. Just saying. Please, please don’t go crazy with those out crosses, you’ll lose the purebred genes.
