Nice! I love this.

I have a lot of Marraduna Basque (Euskal Oiloa) eggs coming in, and my incubator is staying pretty full. I am in Central Texas. I am willing to ship eggs for $20/dozen plus shipping..

For hens, what about a few black speckles on their backs? I don't see that mentioned in the standard.

Thanks for the picture! Well, I guess a few of mine look like that (feathering), but I was thinking they should be lighter. Most of my breeders are lighter. I am also having some paler yellow legs, though. Their legs are not white like Orpingtons, but not as nice and yellow like your photo. I...

Very pretty roo!

Some of my pullets have been a bit dark-colored lately, with definite barring. This is not standard is it?

He is gorgeous!

A little over half of my hatched cockerels are pretty light colored, too (little of the brown-gold color), and some have white shanks. I haven't kept any of those. I wish I knew if any particular hen is to blame!

Good luck on your egg/vegetable/bread project. It is so easy to amass a large quantity of chickens, isn't it? I have about 250, including juveniles. (That is a lot of feeding, watering, and cleaning!) Our farm used to be far outside the city limits, but now there is a subdivision, across the...

Great! Fingers crossed.

Yes, definitely pullet.

Good luck with them! Got any pics of them to post?

Agreed. Let us know what develops.

I was thinking "boy", too, because of the size of the comb. My pullets don't seem to get their combs this early.

I agree!

I personally think the Mille Fleur coloring is very pretty, but I am not breeding those that I get out of my hatches. If I had more space, I might consider trying to breed them as a separate project, though, and maybe someday they could be a recognized color.

Thanks! That's what I was I was thinking. I just have Marradunas.

What is the Zilarra color? Is that the white "Columbian" one?
