Sulmtalers Thread

I sure would like to see more rooster pics. or chicks. or.....any sulmtaler!

My three pullets, about 22 weeks old, are starting to pink up. They are great flyers - found one roosting on top of the coop last night ( right now I have a smaller protected area within the run because of the hawks, somehow she got out and since she couldn't get back in to go into the coop, she.....roosted on top. in the rain. with lots of owls around.).

Had to get an extension ladder out and extend it, and climb up to get her. She sounded the alarm - who knew she could scream so loud and for so long?

I have two out of four that are loud mouths! They "yell" at me every time I go out to the coop. One day the mouthiest one was just non-stop, and one of the other hens went up to her and pecked her, as if to say "Enough already!"

And the Netherlands. Some folks from the UK just showed their bantams in the Netherlands two weeks ago.

Congrats Bayocum. I've got eggs in the incubator also! We will be hatching every week this month! They will be POL by spring. So glad we have mild winters here and I can have chicks do so well this time of year.

Congrats!! Hope you have a awesome hatch.

We've placed some of our sulmtaler eggs in the hovabator today...we'll see how things shape up.  Looking forward to a great spring!

Congrats!! Brice I hope you have awesome hatch and that flu is much better.

About to taste my first Sulmtaler! It smells delicious! Processed one on Monday and it is roasting right now.
ETA - Everything you have read about Sulmtalers being the tastiest chicken IS TRUE! Amazing taste and texture. Wish I had words to describe how delicious this chicken is.

Would you recap how you fed this bird until processing day??

5 month old cockerel. Skinned, no organs, no neck and half a wing he weighed exactly 3 pounds on the dot.
Next one I process I will try to pluck and leave the skin on. I will also keep the organ meats and neck and weigh those also.
