    The perfectly timed crow at 11:55 is too perfect! Love these fascinating and specific videos on historical aspects often overlooked. :) Great to see Felicia and Jeremy again!

    I quit raising Javas because I had a small flock, around 15 or so, and they were so slow to mature and didn't lay well. I'm so glad to see people working to bring them back!!

      I was working at an 1835 - 1864 living history site at the time and raised Dominics and barred rocks most of the time.

    As a chicken owner, this is a fascinating video. I'll definitely get some Javas when I need some replacements.

    Nice to see Jeremy and Felicia again (and Will, for that matter). I'd like to see more about heritage breeds on this channel. When researching them it's interesting to find how young most of the heritage breeds are. The 19th century really took selective breeding seriously, and breeds came and went fast as animals became more useful. It's ironic, but in order to save 19th century breeds you have to avoid thinking like a 19th century person. They were very progressive in their mindset.

    Have you folks ever raised Dorkings? I'm really, really impressed with that breed!!

    • @Jeremyb1862
      @Jeremyb1862 3 месяца назад

      We have not raised dorkings, another old breed for sure. We concentrate on what are considered early North American breeds. Based on the livestock conservancy list dorkings and javas line up well on similar traits

    I'm so glad I saw this video. I have two roosters that I couldn't figure out what breed they are. They look exactly like the roos in this video. Any way to get in touch with the people on this video?

    • @Jeremyb1862
      @Jeremyb1862 3 месяца назад

      I am one of the ones in the video. Australorps look very similar to black javas and are pretty readily available. If the Roos came from a hatchery or store that might be the case. But not impossible to be Javas. Would need more info for sure.

    • @Jeremyb1862
      @Jeremyb1862 3 месяца назад

      Some early sources say the chicken came from Java but there isn’t any real evidence or supporting documentation besides someone said. As mentioned in the episode, the actual origins are shrouded as the chicken was just in the United States for so long and well before things like that were documented.

      I think they brought from Java when sir Thomas Stanford Raffles in charge as Java Island Governor. And then they brought by British colony in America as livestock

    • @Jeremyb1862
      @Jeremyb1862 Год назад +2

      They do but we like to think Australorps look like Black Javas 😊. They are a decedent from my understanding. Plymouth Rock was involved in the Orpington. Plymouth Rock creation involved the Java. Orpington was a foundation for Australorp which I think also has Rhode Island Red. They were developed using Java.
