🩵 BLUE PARTRIDGE LEGHORNS 🩵

Did you know leghorns come in colors other than white? Leghorns come in a variety of beautiful colors, and today we are showing off our blue partridge leghorns. Like BBS lines in other breeds, blue partridge leghorns produce offspring in blue, black and splash. Here are some pictures of our breeding stock, NFS, but their offspring will be! Both hens and roosters sport rich reds and orange coloring and on the hens it blends to a cool grayish blue. Roosters are covered in classic slick wet looking red feathers finishing at the tail with blue/black feathering. Their feathering contrasts nicely with their bright yellow legs and white ears resulting in a beautiful flashy chicken. Look out for these to be available VERY soon at Live Oak Chicken Farm in Alvin TX!

We have a small breeder army of these white puff balls. All show lines. Half are silver based so we will get a LOT of super bright silkies this end of the year and through the next.

At first I was like "what am I looking at" because I have not seen the crested ducks in a while. We have a lot of duck mating so there will be a lot of babies to choose from any season here. Ducks lay the most delicious eggs! If you have not tried them you are missing out.

Here are some Aseel or Asil that we have been working on. It is hard to find the very tall ones. He is around 30" tall I am guessing. I never really measures them. They are on the critically endangered list. You can find them but they are usually mixed. These are two different type of Pakistani Asil. It's direct type is a Shamo Asil. TBO it is to hard to track where they came from. It seems like most ancient breeds came from Thailand though. The Shamo was developed in Japan. The think that I like about this guy is the oily feather look. Soon I will be cross breeding vibrant colored hens to try to get them to get the oily gene.

♨️♨️♨️♨️ FRIZZLES ♨️♨️♨️♨️

Yes we breed frizzles! We have frizzles in several of our breeding pens: LF Polish, Silkies, Ayam Cemani, and soon Easter Eggers. The one rule a breeder must follow when breeding frizzles is never breed frizzle to frizzle. This creates “frazzles” which if they survive to adult hood (most die if they even hatch) will have painfully sparse and brittle feathers that break. Frizzles can also have a harder time at molt replacing their feathers. An increase in protein in their diet can help a lot during this time. Otherwise, they are so much fun and can add some funky spice to a flock! Pictured is our rock star frizzled buff polish rooster.

PSA - ALL THE DIRTY WORDS:

Mareks Mycoplasma ALV Coroyza…

Do you worry your flock is infected? Have you seen symptoms or deaths and suspect something serious may be at play? Did you acquire a new bird and now see something wrong with it?

You don’t have to wait for a bird to die to test it or send it off for necropsy which takes valuable time and is not 100% accurate or definitive as to cause of death. You can send a little blood sample and swab from your LIVE bird to a lab to DNA test it with 99.9% accuracy. DON’T GUESS OR ASK FOR OPINIONS, GET THE FACTS. We see it all the time - “what do you think?” “Does this look like Mareks?” Ordering sterile collection vials, postage and testing fees all together will cost less than $50 to test one bird, results same day if received by 10:30am.

Stop guessing and take action, know your flock’s health!

This is NOT and ad and we don’t get any type of financial or otherwise benefits in providing this information.

Here is the first 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐚 offspring. 7 weeks old. What makes them the NW Brahma is they cross is not Malay over LF Cochin. It is Indio Gigante over Cochin. Indio is partially Malay! So now all of you know why we got Indio Gigante. To recreate a better version of the Old World Brahma which we stocked for a while. This is the first generation. So far as seen the tails will be much bigger. The comb will be a short straight comb. The legs will be dense in feathering. Extra down on the butt. And the temperament is calm. This is generation 1 so we have a lot of work to do but look at this guy! He is going to have a tail over 2' long! We are not offering these until January.

DO NOT GIVE ELECTROLYTES EVERY DAY! I forgot to mention this during this heat!

I hear ( My are my chickens not laying! ) a lot. And it's not the heat. I have no problem over here with 100 degree temps. They lay like crazy as usual. READ THIS ARTICLE.
This is why we don't ship chicks in like a lot of other people and trick you by saying they are ours. Or we don't ship chicks out. Special antibodies are not absorbed from their yolk if they don't get supplemental food which is never provided. They sometimes get that gel stuff but they need real complete chick feed day one! Not day 2.5 or day 3.5. Reason for the .5 is because a lot of hatcheries like us hatch at night. So in the morning they already have been out of the egg for 12 hours. The hatch period is 24 lock down. That means some hatch 22 hours before the door is opened. At major hatcheries that mail out, there is another block in time. They don't make it to the post office until 2 hours prior to last call. That "Last Call" is for a reason but also harms the chicks even more. So there it is 32 HOURS into their life and they just got accepted at the local post office. Now they have to wait an average of 2 more days. And sometimes 3. That is when you get all your dead on arrivals. But it doesn't matter if there are survivors. They are as good as dead if you read this article. I know you have to mail order in some cases because you can't get the breed you want. Instead settle for a breed that is bred nearby. You will spend a lot of money trying to get something that get's so compromised in the mail that it won't be worth it by the time you get some productive girls.

I am not saying all shipped chicks are compromised. But I would say 70% are compromised by both the shipping and the vent sexing. Which I have an article about also! Check out our website!
