High Roost Ranch

High Roost Ranch has added some new blood, varieties, and breeds to our collection of exhibition poultry.

Black East Indies-a nice show pair of BEI's from Larry LeGeese. This is a new breed for me so I'm learning about them as I go. But I'm fascinated by their deep emerald feather sheen. If nothing else, they are awesome eye candy!!!

Pastel Call Ducks-a nice trio from Robert Hardina. I really like this color variety!

Blue Fawn Call Ducks-after an extremely disappointing purchase from Cierae Endsley, I returned those birds and found much better quality. I guess buying with a name stamp isn't always the way to go if you want to progress in a breeding program.

Grey Calls-I picked up two pretty darn nice 2011 drakes from Mike & Jenny Linton. Nice short, fat bills on nice cheeky round heads for these boys. They should take my greys up quite a few notches in quality.

White Calls-I added a nice pair of whites, a 2011 drake with a 2010 hen, from Jim & Patti Zimmerman, along with an extra 2011 white drake. I went through what he had available, and made my choices with his guidance. Lets hope I did good.

Dark Large Fowl Brahmas-I finally, after 3 yrs of searching, have found quality replacement darks to restart my breeding program while at the Crossroads of America Show 2011. This pair came from the east coast. They seem happy and content to be in Minnesota. 

Light Large Fowl Brahmas-a nice young trio of LF Lights from Killmallie Farms. I just got them, so they are settling in and finding their niche here at High Roost Ranch.

Bantam Light Brahmas-I was extremely fortunate to acquire a gorgeous pair of Light bantams from Spence & Williams while at the Crossroads of America Poultry Show 2011.

Cornish Bantams-who would have thought that I would have ever had these in my flock. But they've peaked my interest to the point that I just had to try some. So... I now have a really nice pair of young darks, along with a white and gold laced pullets and an extra dark cockerel. I am amazed at how heavy these birds are. They are massive, massive, massive!!!

Modern Bantams-I've added some new birds over the last couple months. A brown red cock and black cockerel from Tom Anderson, and birchens and brown reds from Mark Peterson.
