Tomaru Longcrowers...

[Frosty]

The funny part is that I live in North Dakota but I'm from Pennsylvania I haven't been back in about 20 years now, and honestly, the deer ticks and Lyme scare me. We don't have that stuff here (yet).

With our guineas and chickens free range in,no ticks at my house. Was landscaping last week for a lady and got a tick

Do they do a good job with deer ticks too? I know the things are tiny. Both of my parents and their dog got Lyme.

I'm in northern Pennsylvania and every one wants guineas,for ticks

I have lots of guineas and no ticks for the past 20 yrs

Anybody still working with this breed? Anybody getting any crows yet?

 

[maranfarmer563]

I have two lines of tomaru and working on some long crowing hybrids with denizli

Do they tolerate cold? I mean, can they make it in a dry coop free from drafts without a heat source in the winter. Looks like you are from Pa. so you should know. I have heard something about chick die-off at about the two week mark. Hopefully your crossbreds should be hardier. What kind of crows are you getting?

Totally winter hardy mine went through 20 below O with no problem. I use medicated chick feed and have no problems. When you first hear the crow of tomaru it reminds you of the howl of a wolf

I would love to have some one day. Need more pens!
