    Thanks for the info. I was hoping to get some more from ideal, but they say it's wait listed. I've got a pair that are looking good. Earlobes are the blue white with a touch of red. Which is fine by me as I don't like the idea of changing from the French original.

    I've some about 1-1.2 ounces around that shade. One is more round, but I'm fairly certain that's a bantam Cochin. Before winter one of the crested was laying a round bright white egg. So far that hasn't shown, but I've got a bright white regular shaped. I did catch my black crested white polish...

    At what age did yours start laying? I'm getting 1 white egg, but also have polish. Anything color, shape, or size that the crevecoeur eggs apart? Not planning to breed till past a year. Just before I separate everyone curious as to if Sapphire has started. Of course I don't catch any crested in...

    My 7 month old pair. Unfortunately Sapphire my pullet was hanging out in the coop. Onyx is my cockerel. They free range so weight wise they are lighter. Trying to get weight on them, but so far they're in range for their age, but the lower end. Once I've got their coop & run built to put them in...

    There's an issue with the SOP & being true to the Crevecoeur history-requiring red earlobes. The French standard is for the white. This gives way back. Granted, even early mention in the SOP is for red. It's just not historically or genetically correct. Yes, they should be a good dusk purpose...

    They're a good breed. Coyotes are trouble for any dog really. There are some good Dane rescues around too. Unfortunately, the bigger the dough the bigger the vet bill, etc can be. Like you said for the Breda, it's worth it.

    Keep that in mind about the Breda. Yeah, the big goober. Lol he's awesome, but starting to retire. I'm trying to work out dog #4 versus see how I do without. My chiweenie can do some of the tasks but she's not as strong on alerts. Largely due to training-working. She's not really hope for long...

    True. We've hard water, but house filter is out of budget. I don't notice too fast or breed of build up from the stuff. Lugging water home would break me. 2 of my dogs are small & they're the main culprits. They're on a diet & insist they're starving. Lol my Dane, he figures stuff out since he's...

    The breda looks interesting. Have you had them before? Any idea how they do in the heat? Are they large fowl or bantam? Sorry, I like the feathered feet!!! lol Yeah, I hear ya on the wild birds. I've got them like crazy too. I don't think the treadles will work here as my dogs are quite adept...

    I'm in AZ so I get it. I've got a huge mesquite shading my yard which helps. I also found litter boxes or similar with water in then helped-they'd stand in then to cool their feet. Plus, frozen 2 litres do wonders. They hang around them, stand on them, sit by them, etc. I also had a kiddie pool...

    Thanks. I got lucky, she's from the feedstore. They had more, but I was picking out different looking chicks. Wish I would've got more like her. I don't have an incubator yet. My hatching will need to wait or involve a broody substitute. Then do like you & pick for their size, vigor, & type...

    My pullet, you can see how her crest is swept back. I'm on my cell b& I can't load another pic in this post you show you my cockerel. I'll try later when I'm on the puter.

    I've a pair. Pullet is 8ish months & cockerel is 4.5 months. They are a bit standoffish, etc. My cockerel roosts with his group snuggled up with whomever for the night. My pullet most nights is with them, but separate. There's been another pullet she's usually around. They are shy. However, per...

    OK, no photo. Try again for the older from my computer later. It won't embed from my cell now. Opinions on onyx? That's my younger girls name. Though I'm starting to think boy with the crest spikiness today. Lol

    I'm thinking about breeding my creves. I've 2 girls, both from ideal. The eldest I got around the end of April from the feedstore & the younger is from a 6-29 hatch date. I know the pics aren't the greatest & it's early to really tell for the sop, but was wanting some feedback. Please & thank...
