pavlovskaya?

[bantamboi]

hi! i'm buying a pavlovskaya pullet off a local breeder who has greenfire farms stock and i was wondering if anyone has experience with them? what's their temperament like, any special care needs, cool stories, any and all pictures, etc.

Here is a Picture of my Russian Pavlovskaya. I really like this rare breed and My Roo is gentle. They hen is so sweet too. I would like to get a few more hens in this coloring. I live in Canada - so getting birds and eggs across the USA/Canada border can be tricky. Especially with Covid 19. ugh But show me what you have - Any Canadians out there??

Where abouts in Canada? Beautiful birds btw!

I’m in northwestern Washington and may breed these two next spring.

I have 4 white hens from Greenfire. They are very docile and laid back. They don't mind being petted and like attention. They look so cute when they walk or run. I think they are great birds for pets and you will get some eggs, just not like you would get with a Barred Rock type bird which lay almost every day. I enjoy them. I do have to say that the white ones from GFF have legs and feet that are way too heavily feathered, like little wings, which would be a disqualification in other countriesm. For this reason I won't breed then but I am looking for any other color that has the correct leg and foot feathering. Here is a good video to show what I mean. I will see if I can post a pic of my girls legs and feet so you can see.

I got 5 straight run chicks from chicksforcheep.com. They are so funny looking and cute! No idea what their quality is - I just got them for funsies, they were reasonably priced all things considered ($15 each). I call them "Sgt Pepper and the Fancy Pants Club Band". They do seem rather flighty ... these pics are at about a month old. I need to get some more now that they are almost 2 months old...

I took some pix of my pumpkin pavlovskaya hen yesterday. She's skittish and always stays close to the flock, especially near our ayam cemani rooster. She is almost 2 1/2 yrs old and lays a small cream egg every once in a while.

I've just hatched 4 pav eggs. 3 came out brown/red and 1 is white. Both parents where black/red and red with black but carry the white gene
I put 6 in incubator. 1 died day 3, 1 died on hatch day, egg was very porous and it hadnt got rid of the moisture
3 out of 4 needed assistance hatching as were in wring positions, one especially very oddly positioned but all in brooder doing well now. I'm really interested as I'm new to this particular breed. They are in with their pekin bantam c

ousins and will eventually mingle with my mixed flock which has brahma, silkie, polish, ayam and leg horn.
