What kind of Americans do you keep?

We breed mainly Radio Kelsos from Jerry Leber, Deadend Blueface Hatch from Robert Harvey, and Albanys now, but also have some Lacy Roundheads, Deadend Gray, and some Cecil Davis Kelsos. We just added a pair of Penny Hatch and also Mclean. We cross our kelsos over hatch and like them very much. My Avatar pic is one of our Radio brood cocks.

One of our pure Radio brood hens. The pic makes her look white legged, but they are more a pale yellow.


Radios, same goes with the leg color.. they are pale yellow but for whatever reason the pic makes them look white.

Nice fowl... Name brand and everything. Those blueface hens are nice looking

How long have you been keeping them? Thats quite the collection.. I bet that took some time to accumulate pure stock like that? Direct from those breeders or second hand?

We have had the Radios for about 9 years. We line breed to keep them pure and coming good size. They are as gentle as pups and that is a good quality when handling gamefowl. We got them from Frank Prater who got his original birds from Jerry Leber. He actually gave us one of his original hens from his trio when we bought our trio from him and she was pretty old at the time and lived to be a ripe old age of 15 before she finally died. She produced some fine roosters that first year we had them and never laid much after that. We got our Deadends directly from Robert Harvey of Deadend Gamefarm and have had them about 7 or 8 years. The rest we aquired here and there and all have proved to be very fine quality fowl. We cull heavily and only keep the best. All in all my husband has been raising and building his stock for over 16 years and his dad long before that.

Yeah those stags look good... Are the pullets full sisters to the stags?

The black/grey crosses aren't. The whitehackles are. I have them in with a penny stag for now.

Wow cool, I'm impressed. Sounds like you married into a good flock.. haha

I wish my family was involved with my chickens. I am all alone, which is why I share my pictures/experiences on here.

I dont know much about the breeders/farms you speak of, but the east coast guys might recognize them.
