To meet Cubalaya breeders from around the world, you can join
the Cubalaya
Breeders Club at Facebook. Some of my Cubalayas appear
below and on the link to Charlie,
which explains the unusual feather patterning of their tails.
Please note that the black birds are Sumatras.
Crescent the Sumatra hen is on Fosdick's right; to his left
is Llama the Sumatra/Ameraucana cross hen. They peacefully share
a treat of chicken scratch. Without Fosdick in the middle, Crescent
would hog it all from Llama.
More above of Fosdick being the guy in the middle
trying to keep everyone happy while the hens snack. The white
splashed black pullet is Polka, seven months old. Her mother
is a Red Star, father a Sumatra. She's the bottom girl in the
pecking order.
Below, Sweetpea, a Cubalaya pullet at six months of
age, on Dec. 26, 2005. She's quiet, friendly and unaggressive,
and tends to keep to herself. She is an excellent flier.
Despite Sweetpea's shyness, every now and then she
joins the group.
