I usually keep up with my reading on this thread, but lately have gotten behind. So, I thought I would catch up tonight. I keep reading where every one wants Heritage RIR eggs. Let me reason with you a little while. First off I purchased the best available breeding stock. $75.00 a bird. Then an...

Here is a question for those that raise and show quaility chickens I am now ready to start mating my birds. A little background might be in order first. I have shown my birds and discovered which is my best...

I wish I could buy good birds for $50.00 like some have mentioned here. I bought three LF RIR's from a master breeder at Lucasville this fall. He wanted $100.00 apiece for them. I needed them to mate to my own birds of the same line or else I wouldn't have bought them. I ended up paying $75.00...

Congratulations are in order again to Bobby Anderson, as he has won again with yet another different cockerel bird. His is a hard act to follow. There was over 300 large fowl and a total of over 1000 birds at this show. Bobby won BV, which then graduated to BB, American Champion, and finally...

Chris09-----You calling me a duck? Ha.Ha! I was just answering the question as it was asked. But, you are right a wattle is the red thing-a-ma- jig under a chickens neck. And you know I might be related to a duck after all, because some things "quack me up!"

What's a waddle? This was asked one page back, I just couldn't stop myself , I had to answer so get ready here it comes.--- ---My wife says it is the way I walk, now that I've gotten older.

Bobby Anderson won BV, BB, & Best American, and then went on to win "Reserve Large Fowl" with another one of his Don Nelson RIR's at Morganton NC this past weekend. He did this with a different bird then he used to win big at Lucasville a few weeks back. He brought three nice cockerels to the...

I've tried to find somewhere else to ask this but can't find anywhere on this web site that is suitable, so I'm asking it here. If someone knows a more appropriate area to ask this please notify me of where. How do you set up your pens? Do you separate cockerels from pullets? Do you keep a...

I'm not sure this is the correct place to ask this question or not, but here goes.-- How do you set up your pens? Do you seperate cockerels from pullets? Do you keep them in small pens or large? Do you keep your breeding cocks in with your hens year round? Where do you house the chickens you...

Imajay, I really like the looks of both your #2 bird and your #3 bird as they look right now. They are still young though, Let them mature before you make any cuts.

Banty chicken luv.-- No I don't have any rose combs I haven't seen any that I thought were that outstanding to interest me. Like B Blosi said they might win the rose comb veity but not the LF RIR breed. The single comb seems to dominate that area. I understand that at one time ,years ago,there...

Someone asked about Urch birds. I have Large fowl single comb RIR'S from him. They are Heritage RIR's. They are very pretty, but, the ones I received were not going to win any shows. The correct DNA/genes are present in the Urch birds because after one good mating I have several young birds that...

I meant to say Best of Breed not Best of Verity, please forgive me I'm new to showing. I do know the WOW! Factor when I see it though.

Actually the same person took 1st 2nd &3rd place cockerel, Reserve American, and Best of Verity. I think I've got that right. He is a friend of mine B. Anderson from NC He has the Don Nelson Line. A Rademacher of Minnesota did well with his pullets as well. I believe he took 1st 2nd and 3rd...

My oh my! That's a nice looking Red --Bob. I haven't ever seen any of the Mohawk strain in person but, like the Rademacher and Don Nelson lines that I and a friend have.

The question was asked what incubator we liked, her is my story-- I was new to hatching chickens. I had 3 heritage hens and 1 rooster that were doing what came natural. So, I bought a new 1502 GFQ incubator and saved up 38 eggs over three weeks time. I kept them in an egg carton that I placed...

Dragon ox Weasel I have sent you a pm I live in Wilmington NC. I have some trios to give you a start. They are from the Rademacker line. Also, know of someone that may have some from another excellent line. He doesn't want to sell until around Dec. The birds that I'm talking about here are all...

I have been quoted prices for trios from two of the major lines by major breeders (I dislike to mention their names as I have not asked permission) The birds are to to be picked up at Lucasville. These birds, both cockerels and pullets will be shown in the show. The lowest quote was $100.00 for...
