    Brilliant video. I love the videos of whiting farms and Dr. Tom

    Amazing work you've done. I like that the birds have some elbow room, but they would surely appreciate some dust bath boxes and hanging items to peck at too, no? Something to pass the time.

    Always fun to see the Doc. With his flock 🐥 would love to get my hands on some of those capes and necks without having to pay :-) but that being said they are worth what you pay for them . Best hackles on the planet 🌏

    I've spent way too much on rooster feathers. Then I found out recently that Collins closed up shop and is selling off the last of his stock. Good stuff! I wish I'd have bought more. Hopefully his stock lasts awhile and I can get a few more. I saw that he dumped all of his eggs a couple of years ago, so it's done for good. Kind of a bummer.
    edit - Collins Hackle Farm. Been in business for like 40 years. Tough to get though. No ordering through website - snail mail only. Checks only, no card. Sometimes they pop up on ebay.

    I’d love to have a few of his chics so I could get some of his calm roosters they are beautiful. It would improve the hackles on my whiting true blues. How many eggs a week do the hens lay? Are they good mothers? Egg color? Amazing!♥️

    I wonder if he breeds them to be that small for less food consumption or if he doesn't factor it in. I've been breeding my genetic hackle a little bigger every year myself but I'm not nearly the scale of his farm so it makes sense to keep them small.

    Really interesting. I just ordered some of the Whiting True Blues one of which is a male. Would I be able to breed them? What if they are from the same clutch? Inbred offspring? Would the female offspring lay blue eggs? Much respect!

      Those are his commercial birds. They aren’t the fly tying genetic birds.

    Such a noisy environment. No peace or autonomy... and then randomly picked up and flipped around. No wonder they are angry....

    • @FlyFishFood
      @FlyFishFood  8 місяців тому +3

      They are angry for one simple reason… They are roosters.

      what makes you think a rooster want peace and quiet? Oh and autonomy🙄 give me a break. sometimes ignorant people are best off remaining ignorant I guess
