Roarke raises Asian Roosters and Rare Breeds. Am just an Old Caveman living in The Age-of-Conveniences who is stumbling about at adapting a bit to a Digital Paradigm. Grateful for the Sanity kept with my Birds.

Thai game fowl

We keep more than one family of Thai. We have a family of Hmong Thai which throw many pumpkin roosters. They are “relatively pure” Thai which have maintained the breed as I received them from local Hmong community. Pumpkin is a heterozygous genetic expression of black genes and blond genes. Whites also appear in this family. Hens tend to be penciled brown.

Whites appear in this family. His Father is NQL pumpkin Hmong Thai rooster over Cricket, a blond Thai hen with a trace of Shamo in her.
This is NQL (Noob Qes Loj) of many good birds. He sired the white rooster shown previously.

NQL sired the white rooster shown before him (when put over Cricket, a blond Thai).

One branch of our Thai family has a trace of Blond Shamo cross (who was Grandfather of one blond Thai hen named Cricket). I shall add photo of Shamo x grandfather when I can.

Another family of our Thais, some grey “Blue” hens are being crossed with Blk Red Ga Noi…we shall see what this calculated experiment produces. Note that I AM STILL BUILDING this SITE so please bear with me as I slowly get more photos posted. I was born way before PC computers … I am not very fast at learning this technology. Thank You.

Ayam Cemani

We keep a small flock of Ayam Cemani, the ALL BLACK chicken – black all through,… even including black bones. The Ayam Cemani is a precious sacred bird with special healing qualities. We usually sell chicks locally. Sometimes we might have adults available – if we haven’t sold out of chicks first! Ayam Cemani are rare. and very much sought after so I usually sell out quickly. (I am building site slowly !! more photos shall be posted later. )

Ayam Cemani


Well that’s Ayam Cemani for you. An all black bird all through – even the bones are black. A precious and sacred chicken it be. We occasionally offer these Ayam Cemani. This rare breed is highly sought after, so we often sell out locally. We offer chicks (Locally only!!) of this breed. I shall list adults for shipping when we haven’t sold out locally…(or by special request with deposit).

Compare these to Svart Hona Breed, (which also we raise). The Svart Hona is almost indistinguishable from the Ayam Cemani (from which it is believed Svart Hona were bred). It is considered a more cold hardy breed since it was developed in Sweden over many many generations. But otherwise it is very hard if not impossible to tell the breeds apart from each other. (Go to Svart Hona Catagory to see them.)

Sumatra

Roarke with Devorador de Homens
Devorador

Devorador, (above), is a fullsized Black Rooster (5#3oz). He is sire to offspring for Spring/Summer 2019. He is an amusing SOB. Meaner than my Ga Noi. 🦖 NFS. He is our (only serious) breeder for 2019.

Napolean

Napolean, above, is a very small dunn black Rooster. “Bantamesque” His line is uncertain… . So be his fate. But we will see what hatches this April 2019… .

Pullets available

This boi, below, has a great-great-grandfather who was pure Sumatra. He is 15/16ths Thai, 1/16th Sumatra. I show his sister also.

just over 6 # currently ( still very young )

This is his sister below: she is currently laying her first eggs.:

And his other sister also laying her first eggs now, (below):

If you might be interested in any of these birds, they could be available for local pick up at low prices.

First Post

Our story begins with learning how to make a website and run this blog.

Werdpress’s help team is making ALL THE DIFFERENCE!! (Thank you!)…

…looks like I need a little more help. Today I tried to upload some Birds on AVAILABLE now page…and ran into to problems…the pictures and text are all a mess out of order. I shall get it right. I have never made a website before. Bear with me. Thanks.
