My adorable sultan pullet (pic)

[kristenm1975]

I've never had this kind of chick before and I've been so pleased by her nature and personality. She has the most human little eyes too, if you know what I mean. She isn't a squawker, and isn't at all flighty, as I tend to think a rare breed bantam chick would be.

I got two of them from the Oak Harbor Skagit Valley Farmer's Supply store on Whidbey Island. They were in a batch of assorted feather-legged bantam pullets that came from Privett Hatchery in New Mexico. I didn't know what I was going to end up with, but it looks like I've got two sultans and one porcelain d'uccle. I'll try to get pictures of the porcelain d'uccle too later.

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!

Have never been to WA but am now thinking it's time for a road trip!

Maybe Privett's still has some you can order. I think it's really awesome that they sex the bantams. I've never heard of anyone but My Pet Chicken doing that, and they charge $10 for the job.

Of course, I'll change my tune if they all turn out to be roosters. We have a very strict no-roo policy around my place.

I looked up their web site and remembered I'd looked for it before - for some reason their web site does not display for me and I don't think it's my computer - have never had a problem viewing web sites...

I've been wanting some Sultans for a while now, so I just went to Privett's website. Everything was fine until I clicked on their online catalog, which wouldn't pull up for some reason...

But I really like your Sultan pullet. Makes me want one more

Sultans are little dreams. Mine is coming on Wednesday.

Good luck with your girl!

(Hoping it's a girl!)

Your chickie is just adorable. I hope it turns out as sweet as mine. Mine was only flighty when it was bossed around by a bigger roo. Now that he is the only roo, he struts around proudly and the hens (even the standards) just love him.
I now have a handful of half-sultan little chicks, d'uccle and EE...all so pretty!

Our chicks came a day early and my Sultan pullet is doing well. They really are the sweetest things...

That is what I ordered from Cackle Hatchery! I wanted Sultans so bad! But they sent me the wrong chicks! So now I am stuck with some Egyptian Fayoumis!!!

Your Sultan is just adorable!!! Maybe one day I will get mine.
