Hi everyone, Just hatched my first round of birds for next year's show season. I can already see that a few of them are going to be champion birds. HA- HA,...
Hey Curt, wow, I don't even want to think about hatching for about 4 more months! :-) (no lights in my coops, I just have to wait until they decide to start...

Hi Aaron, Thanks for the show results!! Literally, I get so excited when I hear Rosecombs being champions of a class or higher. Let's keep them at the top of...
You could not do any better than living in Dallas area then to talk with Lonnie McAfee or Mike Hughes (Hughes Bantams), they are both listed on the Rosecomb...
Hi group. I just wanted to let you know that although the info did not make it into the Poultry Press (not sure why!), the PPBA show will be the 2006 District...
Hi, My name is Glenna and I live in north Idaho. Last spring I purchased some eggs off ebay. It was an "assorted bantam" batch of eggs. In this group I was...
Don, Thanks I have checked out this sight many times and have emailed her recently asking for advice about color genetics. So, I have to ask about the white...
What would the combination be for creating a "rhode Island Red" color of Rosecomb? Any ideas? Is anyone out there interested in genetics and possessing the...
Hi folks, I am trying to track down some information on a man my grandfather knew, back in the 60's and 70's, named Roscoe Lundy, who bred Rosecombs. If anyone...
I would cross a Rose Comb Rhode Island Red with a Black Rosecomb. Then keep selecting for color, type, and lobes. You could use other varieties of Rosecombs,...
Hi everyone, we are getting ready to make a incubator purchase, I know there are about as many opinions as incubator brands, and I'm probably opening a can of...
Well I have big incubators, but I like the Lyon RX2 Incubators http://www.dblrsupply.com/index-incubators.php?page=/store/incubators-main.h tml or the Brinsea...
I'll probably get some flack for this, but if you want cheap with average (not great) hatches get a styrofoam incubator with a preset thermometer and automatic...
We appreciate your opinion and no one should give you any flack, as you have had long years of experience. We each live in different climates and that has a...
I'm not usually one to brag too much, but this one's 13 years in the making, so I really can't help it.... At the Gold Coast Poultry Fanciers show in...
Since we are on the thread of what to cross with what.... Since I seem to have such a hard time finding rosecombs in my area I was wondering what other breeds...
Katherine, You have every right to be proud...That is a nice rosecomb ckl, and does not even need qualifiers about a rare color. He has the type, feather...
If I were you Glenna, I would first read Bantam Chickens by Fred P. Jeffery and the book on chicken genetics by F.B. Hutt. These books will give you...
Thanks for the comments. They are appreciated. I will do what I can for the Federation and Rosecombs. Just to refresh all of our memories, when and where is...
What Katherine is forgetting, or to modest to mention, is that she also got Res RCCL with one of her Black females. If you think the bird looks good in...
The National is going to be at Indiana at the APA & ABA National in the Fall 2006 at least that is what everyone is telling me. Thanks again for your support....
Thanks you guys! That BBRed cockerel has the best type of all the ones I've raised so far, ever. And yet there is still so much room for improvement, it's a...
I would also recommend getting "Old English Game Bantams as Bred and Shown in the United States" by F.P. Jeffrey and William Richardson. There is a lot of...
