What a super fun day at Central Maine Bird Fanciers Spring show! We entered 6 of our best Old English, 2 of our Bantam Orpington Cockbirds, and Ozzy, our Largefowl Old English there to represent. The judge really liked our little BBR Old English Cockbird who will now have to earn a name. He joined champion row as Champion Game. Davey also caught the judge’s eye and joined champion row as Reserve SCCL. The crele Old English variety had a big turnout with birds from us and two friends in the variety. It’s the best feeling ever getting to see them all together like one big extended family. We also got to share some of the very fun mille genetics project yard candy chicks and help another future tabletop serama exhibitor get started with a promising little cockerel and eggs from our show prospect pens.

Congrats to all of our friends who came to show pretty birds today. We hope to see some of you at the Connecticut Poultry Breeder’s Show next month! We will have more offerings from our serama, old english and yard candy pens to bring with us.

He’s both a Muppet and a man. It’s Muppet Man and he’s an eligible yard-candy bachelor who could be your next purse-chicken.

We’re bringing some fun birds to the Central Maine Bird Fanciers show next weekend and Muppet Man is joining us. He is not a correct silkie by any means, but this guy is from robust lines, was an amazing heater for his hatch mates and is as sweet as can be. Come see Muppet Man this weekend!

The surprise Exchequers are nice, but there’s also a rising star among the ginger brood.

We had some very interestingly mottled serama babies hatch from Rick & Morgan and we’re hoping they’ll become fine Exchequer. We certainly won’t have room to keep all of them in our program here but we’ll be raising them to become a part of the SCNA family either way!

At almost 3 days they already run/in out of the coop and can yeet themselves into the pile of moms 💚

Have you ever wondered just how those stripey chickens work? They happen to be some of our favorite around here!

The barring gene is a nice punnet square to project around, whether you’re a homesteader needing to manage your rooster ratio or on a mission to maintain high quality crele birds like we are. There’s resources all over the internet but we wanted to share what we know in one, consolidated cheat sheet.

Our project centers around OEGBs (and future serama!) but there are other breeds you may recognize with the crele variety.

Bielefelders
Legbars
Orpingtons (UK)
Penedesenca

We hope this guide will be fun for those curious and helpful for anyone diving into crele projects.
Stay punk! 🤘Raise chickens
