I thought Calder Rangers were the ones with the light bums like Warrens and ISA browns, rather than Columbian black tails which I thought were more like Babcocks.

Hi Aggy, no Calder Rangers are hybrid hens for laying eggs!

is the abacot ranger the duck you were thinking about Aggy?

The calder ranger is a third generation cross from RIR and white sussex, most will have the black tail but a few will have white tail feathers, and yes they were formally known as the columbian black tail.

Information taken from the poultry keeper forum and waitrose's web site who sell columbian black tail eggs  :D
Staffies are softer than you think.

When we bought our 4 hy-lines we where told the 2 slightly lighter ones where calder hy-lines, and the 2 slightly darker reddy ones where hy-line rangers!!

Who cares, they are all very entertaining and lay delish eggs!

You told me off for sticking tongue out at you once!!!!    :tongue2:  ;)

well perhaps the other year we were sold warrens as Calder Rangers then, but that's what the bloke said they were and they all had whitish tails.

Our hatchery do columbian black tails, but when Brian askedabout getting some day olds, they said no, every CBT they produce are for a special customer.  Now I know who!!! Waitrose!!! :)
