Shamo 319 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Just some advice Hatcher...don't put any more Asian Blood into your Hennies, I doubt you will gain much as first crosses. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hatcher 4 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 These Hennies @ 2year olds are normally in around 5lb 10ozs. I keep them pure nowadays but have tried various grades in the past.The old Asil hen is just getting her day in the yard Shamo. H. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claude 144 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks for that info hatcher Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shamo 319 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 5lb 10oz?........blimey. I was inspired by my Jerezanos for my 'Handle/Nickname', (not the one I use here) the biggest of which was 3lb 4oz....lol. White Hackles being the heavyweights of the day with comparable weights to your Hennies. I have never had true Hennies, people didn't like them to be passed around. I had a Hells Angel pal from the North of the Country who had some, they were muffed, although I doubt he had the weights you have Hatcher. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gamerooster 1,179 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Had hennies in the past, Irish greys, kept them as i always wanted them, bred them from fully cock feathered birds, had a real soft spot for them, but in the end they werent worth keeping, but that might of just been the line i had, but there is usually a reason why a breed dies out, and that is because a better one comes along and beats them. To all the poeple out there breeding hennies, keep it up, as long as the man is happy with them, then thats all that matters, dont matter what other people think of them, they aint the ones paying for there feed and caring for them 365 days of the year...... but my big problem is is people that make there birds out to be something there not, dont lie fellas, people appreciate honesty, they don't have to be world beaters, as long as there good honest fowl. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

off the tether 277 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not a guilty conscience mate, I am just one of them old guys that don't like to read shit from a fool like you if I was a friend of yours which I am not, and would not be for long, I would have you checked out, its fools like you that make out they know men and talk about things they know nothing about that will be the downfall of good lads, so my advice to lads about you, would be stay clear, I have got a 10 year old grandson knows more about gamefowl then you, and he don't know feck all, so go back to borrowing some more out of print books and carry on dreaming, gamerooster what a joke ha ha ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be perfectly honest "gamerooster" as much as iam trying to respect your opinion I don't think it is relevant in this section, how can you breed hennies out of "fully cock feathered birds" ok if you had irish greys it is more than possible you could breed a cock that didn't have a full tail... and try as you might ,out of this slight throw back you are not going to breed hennies, hence like you said "died out" but they didn't die out they weren't there to begin with... not worth keeping well , out of your own admission you let go coal minor blues, so that says it all.. and as for advising lads not to tell lies about there birds. well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
off the tether 277 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 That's what you get when you let your brood hens run amongst cocks on tethers, one word for them smarties, D,T,D some people are to daft to learn, but very good at running people down that is trying to teach them something, like a very good friend of mine in the states, once said to me many years ago kid its not how many years you have been in this game that counts its how quick you learn, and some people never do, gamerooster instead of butting in on men that know what they are talking about by first hand experience, sit back and read you mint learn something, but having said that I doubt that very much 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
