i don't know, but i won't never ever order chickens from mexico or "New mexico" cause there is no telling what you'll be getting. cause australorps w/ feathered legs is just not right!

MAYBE it's like "Tennessee Whiskey"....some of it...MIGHT be GOOD WHISKEY.

But out here in New Mexico, our horses are "runners".......NOT "Tennessee Walkers" !
(Do them "Walkin' Horses" have feathered legs? Is that what slows them down?)

Ha-Ha !!!

Here is one of my "Astralorps" (spelled wrong I know) from Privet, tell me what you think??

 

[Pyncheon guy]

That's a Black Cochin...not an Australorp....

 

[dmiravalle]

Umm, yeah I know!!

I ordered astralorps specifically and the chicks were marked like the right kind of chicks, but this is what they grew up to be.

 

[Pyncheon guy]

They were way off......she's a nice bird though....

 

[dmiravalle]

They are definetely not tempered like the large cochins we had before, very dominate and aggresive. Also, they have a heavier body than are previous LF's.

The FIRST chickens I had were Buff Orpingtons (dunno from where...they were given to me by a neighbor who had them given to him). GREAT Chickens! (many reasons)
BUT, one particular Hen (the best "broody") was as arrogant as any Rooster (except HER Rooster). She would attack me and other chickens at any moment. She was "Top Hen" (or "Top Gun" -- Ha-Ha !!!).

She and "her Rooster" were NOT to be messed with. She's gone now....unfortunately....but "her Rooster" still runs the flock. His Grandsons don't even consider "messin' with the OLD MAN" even though they are BIGGER!

He's a half-breed....essentially a "Gold Comet" (Red Sex-Link). I named him "Oro Blanco de Gallo" which means the "White-Gold Rooster".

I've also got a Brown Leghorn rooster who is about half his size that is very fiesty. But, he doesn't mess with Ole "Oro Blanco.

WHOOPS ! I don't have the Brown Leghorn Rooster anymore! My neighbor JUST NOW came by and traded me some chicken feed for that Rooster! Good Deal for everyone concerned! (That's the true definition of a good business deal!)

Oh Well...that's the NEWS from New Mexico.
