Breed Suitability
« on: November 04, 2009, 16:53 »
I would like comments on the following breeds:
1. Andalusian
2. Dominique
3. Marsh Daisy
4. Norfolk Grey
5. Lincolnshire Buff

Comments regarding hardiness, friendliness, egg size/laying. I am looking to breed rare breeds. Any comments appreciated particularly as to which would mix better with other breeds.

the only one that I hadn't heard of was the domininique (also known as the dominicker) but have just googled them and they are a dual purpose bird and very calm. They also are supposed to make good mums   :D
Staffies are softer than you think.

Peninsula Poultry as these are "rare" breeds it is unlikely that people will have experience of them.  I would  suggest that you try the breeders associations. I am sure a short google search will find the relevant organisation.  It will also help you with stage 2 of your project = "Purchasing" the rare breed of your choice.

Here are some links that may help.

1. Andalusian  http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/Andal/BRKAndalusians.html
2. Dominique   http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Doms/BRKDoms.html
3. Marsh Daisy  http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/Marsh/BRKMarshD.html
4. Norfolk Grey  http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/NGrey/BRKNGrey.html
5. Lincolnshire Buff  http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/LBuff/BRKLBuff.html
