I think there will be a LOT of culls, but that after a couple generations there should be some nice birds. No? Is it impossible to fix a tail?

i know a grand master exhibitor Adrian Rademacher and he eliminates any squirrel tail bird it is very hard to get rid of the squirrel tail

I have found out how hard it is to find really good eggs for sale. There is one may be on e-bay and I can not find any breeders. Are they just not big on the show sceen?

There's eBay, Eggbid.com, Ovabid.com, and a few hatcheries will sell hatching eggs, though probably not the big ones. Put a "Wanted" ad here on the buy, sell, trade section... I would find it hard to believe that there isn't a single person here on BYC that wouldn't have Australorp eggs that they could sell to you. But you have to put it out there. I found a possible source of a rare breed by contacting the people that raise them by a magazine article we read. It didn't have their contact info, but I emailed the magazine and asked them to pass along a message. They responded, I have a new contact, but they couldn't help me just this moment. Maybe next year. But you never know until you put it out there that you want it.

I'll keep my eyes open for ya, too...

Is it black australorp you're looking for?

They're out of stock at the moment, but they do sell them!

THank you for looking for me Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain . What I am looking for is show stock. I need a roo to get my line going in the right direction. Its just hard to find breeders that are not big hatcherys that have what I am looking for.

 

[Mrs MIA]

Ah... well, then, that does make it a little harder. Well, perhaps there's someone here that can help you.

Good luck!

Maybe join a breed club and try to contact someone through that.
