Rare Feathers Farm Spring 2012 Sales List Adult Breeders, MUST GO!

[Rare Feathers Farm]

Yeah, maybe? I need to move out a few more birds, first and I'm waiting on a guy who's supposed to be making me a coop for them...are you in a huge hurry to sell? Or are you thinking of a trade?

I have tried going to your website but when I click on rare breeds it sends me to google. this may be because I'm on my cell....
None the less I would love some non hatchery sumatras! I am getting a pr from ideal. How do their bloodlines compare to yours?

 

[Rare Feathers Farm]

There is no comparison. Hatchery birds lack size and type. I have been working on my Sumatras for years and started off with the best of the best that I could afford. Adding hatchery lines would put the entire line back years. Unless you are only having them for pets?

I hope I'm coming across as a snob about it but you asked and I have worked very hard on my birds.

I think my website isn't coming across because you're on your phone?

I have an listing (buy it now) on BYC for Sumatra eggs, too....thanks!

Hey I understand completely! I used to breed dogs and I had my boys all beefy and then someone threw a chiwawa (sorry can't spell spanish) in the line and made rottwawahs! Lol
I will deff look into the eggs but I may not get them as of yet. Just getting back to work after a month off. I also saw you have WFBS. Do you still have breeders? If so then I may just get some from you as well as the sumatras! Then my wife and I can both have true bred chickletts! Also are your sumatras game? I have heard thgame has been bred out of them for show purposes.

I used to have White Faced White Spanish--for a very short time (about 14 months?) They suffered very badly from frostbite the first winter, and were very flighty and egg-eaters. I ended up selling them the first summer.....I no longer have any.

Yes, this line of Sumatras is still game. They aren't as much as some lines, I'm sure...because you can still house two or three roosters together without them killing each other but they do have to have to solid dividers at shows (even the females) because they'll fight through the wire. I don't think the roosters are really any worse to other roosters than any other breed of chicken, though.
