Sorry to hear about your guys new problems, hope things settle down soon!

Sorry about the bad weather. Hope it clears up for you guys and that you get some nice, easy rain to help with the fires and dry situation.

Sure hope you and yours are safe. Storms like that can be scary.
It gets rough here when a hurricane gets close so I know those
high winds can do a lot of damage. Hope the power is on soon and
the fires are out.

Would you breed her back to a blue or black cubalaya?
Blue or black, it doesn't really matter I have several of both. It will come down to which ever one will complement her the most.

Palamino Paul........welcome to the thread. I would suggest a local search for birds and eggs
as they do best that way. Sumatras can be hard to find. Try going to some shows as you
may be able to find breeders close to you that way. Good luck.

rambob..........it's hard to say much about the hens from the pictures. The rooster is young
and a mix so again........hard to say much since I'm not up on the Asils. I don't know if his
aggression will go away but I don't think it will. As long as you are happy with him then it
will be good. Hope you enjoy him for a long time.

So I am a bit disappointed. Went to the Ohio State Fair this weekend, and of course I was excited to see the chickens. Was really hoping to see these guys in real life...I know my girl is only hatchery quality so won't be as pretty, so would be cool to see what an SOP bird looked like. Only 3 Sumatras that I could find...one girl who had won "best other breed" that was pretty, another less pretty girl, and one boy...very bedraggled in my inexperienced opinion. I've seen prettier birds just in the pics on here. Didn't see any of the Cubalayas or more "unique" birds...most of what was there was barred rocks or RIR, and a ton of bantams...don't know if it was because it was the last weekend or what. But I was disappointed.

Any young bird that shows aggression will only get worse not better. Some Asils are extremely aggressive.
