I say /eɪ ju skʌl, ɔɪ loʊ ʌ/ eɪ = Egg ju = Use ʌ = Hot ɔɪ = Boil oʊ = no Yo sé que no lo digo tal como se lo dice in País Vasco.

What sex link and you trying to use with the Basque Cockerel over Lavendar Ameracana? The sexlinked barring from the Cockerel won't work. For the barring gene you need barred hens for the link to work. They is also a sex-linked silver gene. if the Lavendars are silver based then you could...

I moved from Texas to Oklahoma in 2015 and couldn't bring any adult birds to Oklahoma with me. I sold all the Basque to a man in the Houston area who had been keeping a laying flock for 18 years (purchasing pullets from the hatchery) and starting his retirement he wanted to breed his own flock...

The Basque Breed was studied at nation laboratories in Spain. If my memory serves me well the director of the research was Ocampo. I read some of the papers on the breed 5-6 years ado. They tested for the Dark Brown gene in the marraduna and they didn't carry it. So just the columbian gene is...

Thanks...That answers a lot of questions that i had on the Llodianas coloring.

Are the Llodiana hens barred or non-barred? All the photos I have ever seen of the Llodiana Hens looks like they were barred but all the photos of the Llodiana cockerels I have see looked non-barred. The Llodian cockerels always are red and the hens are always a very light color. Do this...

Do you have any photos of you Tunis alavesa hens? How long have you had the Alavesa. I was every interested in the Alavi’s and searched some of the Ocampo publications several years back but couldn’t find much information on that breed/variety. I would love to learn what I can from you.

My experience with them was not so great, but not every experience can be. They donated Legbars to the Dallas Area 4H club working on the Legbar Project (Which I was very grateful for). The 4H adviser in Dallas mentioned that the youth that got stock from them TOFH did not grow as well as the...

I know the Old Farm House. I knew they had Legbars and Breda but didn't know they had EO's..

I don't remember the target weight for the EO cockerels, but there is a recommended harvest age and a target weight for EO cockerels in the Spanish Standards for the breed. If my memory serves me well the harvest age was 14 weeks and the targets weight was 4-1/2 lbs. Mine EO's never made the...

Yep...I was at her place three years ago for a Cream Legbar Club Regional activity. I liked her Basque better than her Legbars. She had a lot of birds that I liked.

One of the best EO flocks that I saw was in Novato, California. You might check local to see if you can find some good ones. I think there would several breeders in that area. :-)

I am seeing a lot better Marraduna EO's than I saw when Skyline Poultry was first offering them in the USA 5 years ago, but it is still interesting to see how different flocks are shaping up considering since they are are built from the same limited genepool imported to Black Horse Ranch.

Quote: Wow..Quite a bit of difference in the type of these two cockerels.

Not I....I was transferred with work from Texas to Oklahoma a year and a half ago and wasn't able to bring any mature birds with me. I had been working with four breeds (some with multiple distinct bloodlines) and a few breeding projects but had been considering going to more traditional...

I see hatch rates go up and down from year to year. I think that a lot of it has to do with where I place the incubator. When I had the Brinsea Eco 20 and Genesis 1588 in a bathroom in the house that only had a very small window that was 6 feet high and three interior walls I was getting...

We got 17 of these in 2012. Some did lay some real large eggs (70+ grams), but others laid smaller eggs (62-65 grams). Our breeding hen from that group was one that laid 70+ gram eggs. In her offspring we saw a lot more consistency with the large eggs. If you are looking for large eggs it...

What color are their ear lobes? White? Do they have a crest?

I also go coral and peach colors. What color are yours laying Mtn. Margie? White? Green? Dark Brown? Other?

Thanks! I got on the Euskal Oiloa Forums today and caught up there too. The snippet of the newsletter for the EO club looked nice. Even though the last of my EO flock are with the man in Brownsville, Texas that I shipped the only EO chicks that were hatch from my flock last year, I NEED a...
