Sumatra Thread!

seen that too Micheal, but based off the spur nubs I was assuming these were just cockerels still, that and in a round about way that's what I was getting at too with the local show thing being best for them.

Yes they are cockerels(they are 20 months). At what age will the tails be full.

this is the black faced white sumatra i was talkin aboot.....
please keep me posted if you manage to get them here from across the pond! i wonder if my buddy in germany can bring some over when they PCS back to the states?!?!? how much do you think it will run a civilian to import their own "pets" back to the states?

Very nice bird.

A cockerel becomes a cock at one year old. At 20 months they should be pretty much full grown

Where you are located, I would contact the University of Arkansas to get some of their free exhibition line Sumatra eggs. They have a program at Fayetteville where they take various breeds and constantly work on improving to SOP. Hatching eggs are available for free to anyone that wants them with priority given to kids for 4-H or FFA but anyone can get them. Black Sumatras are one of the breeds available. Here is a picture of my cockerel at about 5 to 6 mos of age. He subsequently beefed up a lot and developed a much deeper more muscular chest.

Thank you, I think I may be getting some that came from there hatched by a friend, thank you! And Boggy Bottoms would you mind PMing me and tell me what it takes to import and what kind of fees and problems it consist of? Thanks, Lynn in Okla!
