Sorry if this is a duplicate from the cream legbar thread but was advised that I might get answers here. I have a trio of CL's, the pullets are yet to be laying, but the young cockerel has been in with a mixed flock. I allowed one of my hens to sit on three white eggs (only have one male, and...
I have a trio of CL's, the pullets are yet to be laying, but the young cockerel has been in with a mixed flock. I allowed one of my hens to sit on three white eggs (only have one male, and one leghorn so I know who is who when laying). The three eggs hatched today, so I am happy with fertility...
We received in our order a few years ago the most evil, mean spirited creature ever, a white crested black polish rooster
who was eventually sent to freezer camp.
I have always wanted to get some Russian orloffs and was able to pick up three on an auction. They are friendly and inquisitive and I really, really like them. I am still keeping a mixed layer flock (without a rooster) for a pretty egg basket that will have cream legbars, one or two...
I am wanting to get a few welsummers for their dark, speckled eggs and I came across this ebay seller. Does anyone have any experience with this person? I am just wanting a dozen to hatch and I am looking for someone who has speckled eggs. I am not looking to breed them so "lines" are not so...

You might want to check out Duane Urch at Turnland hatchery. He supplies a lot of the Stromsbergs "show quality" chicks. I have no knowledge of the qualities of his houdans but it is a start.
I was just checking out Stromberg's hatchery and noticed that they had Orloff's, you can get 25 for under a hundred dollars plus shipping. Not a bad deal. Has anyone ordered RO's from them and how were they? Does Urch supply their RO's by chance?
I have searched for an answer to this question on here, but didn't find it. I was wondering how the NN does in really cold weather, ie, under freezing for weeks at a time. I have an unheated pole barn and keep water in there with a heater, but otherwise, the hens are on their own. I have a...
I know that Urch Turnland has WFBS and Duane is a well known breeder.
