Good Job Jason, Looks Great !!!

So sorry to hear of the situation. It is a shame that in hindsight the eggs, and then chicks, weren't kept in isolated groups so in case of such a problem ,then only part of the shipment would be lost. . What a loss.

Wow Is Right ! I hope you are able to keep track of the chicks that hatch out of the darkest eggs.

Beautiful Birds , Chickencanoe ! Very Admirable .

Might be Silkie or EE back somewhere mixed with ? . Maybe the Icelandic guy can jump in, as I think some of those can have little topknots. Not any part Penedesenca, though, eggs would be some shade of brown/ tan . Cute hen though , try worming her and make sure she has access to grit if she...

Jason , I was not being critical, just concerned. I do hope it works for you. It can be frustrating trying your best , giving them the best care possible only to lose them to wild or domestic animals or human thieves for that matter. I tend to be overly cautious, that's all. Bill

I sincerely wish you well , but have reservations about the ability of most cock birds to protect the flock from winged predators . I have read elsewhere that the really big aggressive Oriental Game cocks such as Shamo , Thai, Kulang Asil etc can give Raptors a run for their money, but I for...

Not a great pic of a 2012 Black pullet. Just starting to lay, have to pen them soon.

Cooper those are nice pullets . There are probably many reasons why folks give up raising chickens in general and then Penes in particular.Breeding lines of purebred anything takes knowhow . Some people seem more inclined to dedicate the time and effort to long term breeding than others, I...

It's nice to see that you are so enthusiastic. I would gladly send some eggs from my Blacks but not just yet, I've got a lot of work to do before then. It's going to take more time and effort before they show more uniformity . Got some promising pullets but disapointed in the cockerels so far...

A healthy dose of fear will go a long way in keeping prey animals alive. I call my Penes the original "Chicken Littles". They seem fine in a pen if it is large enough for them to reach a comfort zone of distance. Mine are more comfortable running loose and will come in much closer, eating as...

Nice healthy looking little ones. Enjoy !

Congrats on your new Penes. Love the partridge pattern. Waiting for pics , it's getting late, 5:35 AM your time , That's a joke !

Handsome, Excellent condition,

They are "cool", lots of possibilities . Please keep us updated with pics as you proceed with the project.

Pale yolks? Sounds like they didn't get greens , but that should not affect hatchability. USPS is not accepting birds until the weather cools down. I would think that with the Heat there might be a risk to hatching eggs especially if they have to cross the country. I was wondering if anyone...

Has anyone had an experience with the yolks having weak walls ? You know the kind that no matter how careful you are when you crack an egg the yolk collapses in the pan. I wonder if this is causing a problem with the numbers of chicks coming to term. Just thinking out loud. Someone suggested...

Elias , This year I am raising my youngsters free range and also having better results. Well theyre not out in the wilds but are in large unused dog runs(18x 250 ft) that are attached to a 3 sided barn which they sleep and eat in coming and going as they wish. They really don't go very far...
