Black Line Breeding Stock Package (Female Line)

Pricing:

$1,000 for a box of 20 live chicks. We offer a guarantee of 20 live chicks per box as we will ship you 25-27 per box of 20 you order. If you end up with less then 20 coming alive in shipment and provide photo proof of them, we will replace them. 

While it is a large investment, for $2,000 you can get a box of 20 black chicks and a box of 20 silver chicks and be on your way to be self sufficient to breed all your own chicken or to start your own business selling chicks. Plus even if you don’t sell many chicks, the eggs the hens will lay will cover their feed costs.

20 is the minimum we recommend for starting out. More is better from a genetics standpoint, but if done correctly, you can start your own line with one good hen and one good rooster. 

They come straight run so you will end up with roughly half hens and half roosters  

We recommend the Breeders Academy as a great resource for learning all about how to breed your own chickens. https://www.breedersacademy.com

We include shipping in the price of the box and will do either regular or express shipping depending on where you are located. Express shipping will be added at no extra charge if needed to ensure your investment is safe guarded. 

History and description of the breed: 
Our Dirt Parrot broilers are a cross between two lines, the Black Female line and the Silver Male line. The female line has been bred to be the line that we use the females from for egg production and cross them to the silver males. They are a smaller bird then the silver line with the hens being all black to black with red hackles. We are breeding the males to be consistently black with red on them. See pictures. When crossing the lines, if you cross the silver roosters to the black hens, you will get a barred broiler that looks a lot like the silver line. If you cross them the other way and do a black rooster over a silver hen, you will get a sexlink chick where the hens will be black and the rooster will be silver/barred. They will grow the same either way. 

The female line originally came from Shaver Poultry before they were sold to another giant breeding company. They are not a recognized breed, but instead are a mix of many different breeds from Shaver Poultry from all over the world. 

While breeding them to be good layers to produce lots of hatching eggs, we also select them for good body confirmation as a meat bird too. 

We are working on collecting more data on them as far as egg production and grow out times.
