Just an FYI, I had decided that since there are no true dark egg laying bantams in the U.S. that I would start a project this year when I get some more space,...
Hi Mark, I am hoping that I can get the proper stock needed to start my Dark Brown Egg Bantam projects this spring. I think the DBE Bantams will go over well...
Dean, Yes, that would be nice to have several working on a DBE Bantams and share stock. Mark in NC ... start ... want ... the ... time,once ... and ... eggs ...
Has anyone ever seen the bantam Australorps? I was wondering if they are as beautiful as the standards. If you know any bantam or standard breeders in TX...
Hi Jenn, You have probably heard this same old tired excuse before but Australorp large fowl are seldom seen in the American show rooms these days. And the...
Someone from another board asked this question (edited to protect the innocent). I have my own ideas and preferences, but want other input. Mark in NC ...
Hello....I raise two varieties of Pyncheon Bantams, Modena Pigeons, Rhinelander Rabbits, Llamas, Scottish Blackface Sheep, and Dahlias. I'm also a poultry...
Russell, I think Dean (lafleche49) might raise them. I have thought about getting some myself. What kind do you have and do you sell eggs or chicks? Mark in...
I have Mille Fleur (standard color)...and Porcelain Pyncheons....where does dean live? I have had this breed for quite awhile. I may have eggs later in the...
Rusty, Dean lives in Missouri and knows more about chickens (especially bantams) that anyone else I have talked to. He has posted on this board. Both kinds...
Thanks, Pyncheons are very similar to O.E. Game size but look a little bigger because of having softer feathering. They are in the ABA standard....single...
Rusty, Your picture did not attach. It is best to put it in the Photo file for the board. I am not sure what Dean does, but what he has told me some and he...
I have posted a photo of one of my Pyncheon cockerels...I'll try to post some more later, this same photo is also in the "Feathersite" chicken Breed listings....
Rusty, Yes, I saw that photo quite a while back when Dean pointed me to these birds on Feathersite. Is that you? I guess they must be good birds to have...
Yes...That's me...NOT a very good photo. I look like I should have a serial number below the mug-shot...lol. I wish I would have had the Pyncheon standing on...
Rusty, I thought the picture was fine, you just were not smiling. What did you cross yours with? Do they have fertility problems like Araucanas and Seramas?...
Hi Mark, Regardless of what you read about the large fowl it often doesn't hold true in the bantams. White lobed breeds such as the Mediteraneans usually lay...
Hi Mark...I crossed an Old Eng. Game with the pure Pyncheons and then crossed the F1's back to unrelated pure Pyncheons. Most of my birds have very little ...
Rusty, Thanks good to know. I await your egg status. And Dean, thanks, as always, good information. Mark in NC ... then crossed ... very little ... are a few ...
hi im new to the group. i have 3 modern bantam chickens. they are 11 mo old. they have just started laying. my question is how many eggs will they lay in a...
Angela, I have thought about getting moderns, but I do have OEG bantams. From what I understand they are a lot like the OEGame bantams. They do not lay...
Hi Angela, Mark has done a very good job of answering your question but I have a few things to add. Hens lay only one egg per day regardless of breed or size....
I have about 50 bantam eggs in my incubator that will start hatching in a week. I don't have the space for all of these chickens, but I love hatching eggs and...
I really screwed up! I use two incubators to hatch my eggs, but the second one has a broken lid and I used it for my hatcher and I replaced the lid with...
Tina, I don't and have not seen any of this color in Silkies. Where do you live? Your best bet is to find some local group and attend a swap or sale if you...
Hi Tina, I have a good friend here in Missouri who has shown and bred some of the finest Bantam Cochins in the U.S. for a lot of years. He has some of the rare...
Just saw this message on another list... thought I'd pass it on for anyone who has purchased birds from MM. Definitely keep an eye on them and get any ...
Sorry, my 2 year old hit the keyboard and deleted some stuff just as I hit ... Just a heads up for anybody who ordered chicks in March from MM and had some ...
Lily, And MM hatchery is not dealing well with folks telling them bogus things about it being their fault and not being stand up and replacing chicks. If MM...
