I have entire breeding flocks of Svart Hona, and Martin's Silverudd (Blue Isbar) that we are looking to sell. Both our favorite breeds, but we need to simplify our operation. Svart Hona's are the most broody large fowl I've ever seen, and Silverudds do hatch eggs on occasion. If interest send me...

This is the most useful modification of a device I have many of I've ever seen. I'm new to quail, but this has bothered me with chickens as well. As I always treat every chicken, quail, and pheasant we have with the utmost respect, I can see they know what I'm thinking when I see all the wasted...

Where are you located? I know a big farm that takes them in. They have cows and chickens range and help keep everything healthy. Around Mt. Airy

I also need to add, I've scene a few not quite fibro skins all the way to feet, get fibro there. How is this possible? I'm happy, but don't understand.

Looks great! I would love a white silkie to bread with Svart Honas.

Do you have some pics of them? Would love to see.

This is Solo, named because no other chick hatched and I didn't have backup in the incubator like I should in the winter. This is a Svart Roo/Silverudd Hen mix. Born on a horribly near 0 day, it has thived with a great mom that can give it all her attention. I wasn't happy with the fibro out of...

I have never purchased from them before. I ordered 5 Silverudds Blue and 3 Swedish Flowers from them due in April. Hoping all goes well. I am more interested in getting cockerels from them, for different blood lines (I hope). I ordered 5 Silverudds because of the BBS gene, I'd really like a...

We have 2 different blood lines of Svart Hona. One is a little bigger than other. The ones in the Silverudd pen are crosses and are comparable. But my Silverudd girls are about the same size as my crosses. My tiny girls may have an issue with the Silverudd. Also, if you are able to cross, you...

I have had that young go broody. So it may very well be. As for the cockerels, we have never had a problem with either Svart Hona or Silverudds Blue. We don't pic them up, but they work with us and are quite friendly. I find it humorous that our Silverudd has a reply to everything I say around...

Thanks! Great to know the tan info. I will likely join the club soon. As of right now, I have all splash Silverudds Blue. I will have 12 hatching eggs this month for some new blood, and also have 5 day olds coming from Greenfire in April. As for crosses, I do have some, no good pics of them yet...

I have a Brinsea mini also, not the advance, but bought the low model for 29.00 at TSC on clearance. Added a manual turner, and had a decent hatch. Only used it once, but I never thought about the dome holding humidity. Thanks for that thought. I actually bought 3 of those minis at that price...

@parvani I forgot to show this pic. Three incubator goes by many names including Janoel.

Sure. It was a Magicfly... On Amazon around $69. I had multiple 100% hatches for 3 years. On the fourth, I tried it and it was a rollercoaster in temps. Managed to save 5 eggs that I hope will hatch this weekend. Now our primary for the first 18 days is a Brinsea 56ex that I don't use the...

That's awesome, I feel the same, my first hatch of 9 eggs, we had an egg hatch on day 23. We didn't think it would hatch, the other 8 were long done. Then we heard little curious chirps on the night of day 22. 2 years later we had an awesome Christmas card of the girl.
