Thanks! She was hatched from eggs from Spain as a second generation. The parent flock was: What are these in Spain?

I have one hen left. She is a beauty!

That sounds exciting!

I use: a spring latch and eye--the cannot open it

flatrock farm said good type--not color. Just keep that in mind for breeding to the proposed SOP. If not than do not worry about it. EO Basque hens are great no matter what.

Where are you moving to?

No, we have not had contact with her in quite some time. Cacklejoy is you best bet for some of her blood line.

It is great you got the genes from him! I would love to see as many pictures as you want to post. The flock looks very nice now and is likely the first one with new genes in a long time. Very cool!

I am sorry to hear about the problems! I found some information that might just help you. There is a procedure that can kill the MS or MG bacteria during incubation. The temperature is raised during incubation which kills the bacteria. It lowers hatch rate but the chicks will be disease free...

Nice Christine! Where did you get them. They are looking like the Spanish Standard.

The last I hear, he is only selling locally.

They are a good choice!

Yes, still a pullet!

They come from a land race breed so they have a history of being outside. They are a good color to avoid predators--white is a bad color. They are good foragers and the males will defend themselves. They are also big enough that hawks will think twice about going after them. They are very easy...

Yes, they handle heat well. We get up to 110 regularly in the summer here and they do fine with shade and water.

The new heritage delawares will do that but the legs are not as dark blue as these. It is likely left over from an out cross to Partridge Penedesenca.

Yes, that is a good age! Let us know if the 30 week old boys are tough.

Look for someone on BYC that is close to you and will hatch them. I hatch for local BYCrs here in the Woodland\Sacramento area. Some Konza Rangers will be shipped to me for hatching in the Spring.

Yep! I would have kept that chick....

If you can hold on for several more weeks you should know for sure. There are nor boy characteristics so far.
