I have often wondered about a bantam "meat bird" project... Of course that will have to wait until I get done with my Del projects. Which I don't see happening anytime soon..

So many idea's .. so many "what ifs" .. so few pens .. so few hours.. and HOLY COW @ the price of feed. ... lol

exactly, really wondering here what the bantam cornish roo crossed with 2 of Halo's "beautiful, wide-bodied, chunky, low-rider, egg a day, Blue Rocks" would produce...

well, lets see we have Ms. Wide and Ms. Low, we have a pen, we have a bantam roo (mr. david banner- note the name change), we have an incubator...

we have the technology...

I would love to see pics of your bantam Hulk [aka David Banner] and Halo's Blue Rocks.

This is actually "Marion", she is from Marion County. 1 generation ahead of Ms. Low and Ms. Wide. Young Mr. Splash is behind her.

I know I am in the meat bird section and we don't name the meat birds, these are our layers.

my first hens. the Rock is from Halo, the clean faced wheaten ameraucana is from Mr. Larry Gardner's cull pen in N. Georgia.

Thanks. What a pity that wheaten is clean faced; she's appears to me to be one of the better wheaten Ameraucanas other that that.

 

[Minniechickmama]

She looks like most of my layers.... bald in the dome!

i think we can classify that at male pattern baldness. It is a bad habit (pattern) of male chickens

You should see my Buckeye hen! Poor girl.

Seriously, love the color on the Wheaten, she is a beauty!

I am surprised you can get away with that large opening wire fence you have. Do you lock them up every night?

Thanks, I do think Larry Gardner has some very nice birds. I got very lucky, he lives around the corner from my in-laws.
I stopped by for a lesson in Ameraucanas and he gave me the bird for the layer flock.
He has a very nice place, top notch, not to mention his red angus...
