Calling all Penedesencas Owners/Breeders

[dtimoth]

Update on Shelly...she's doing great (see first photo), and in fact did turn out to be a she. The second photo shows two nice little pullets and a nice cockerel spending time with some New Hampshires. All of these Penedesencas hatched on or around November 19, 2015, from eggs I got from Guy/ChickenCanoe. They're doing wonderfully well. I found it really easy to sex them early, given the cockerels' nice, dominant combs, which appeared when they were quite young. At seven weeks, one of the little Penes has already started to crow.

Nice leg and beak color on her too. (slate legs and horn of ox beak)
Sometimes you can tell by a week or so who the boys are.

Hmmm odd. There is no picture and it does not specify what type?

Ya, that's what I was thinking!

I sent them an e-mail asking for an explanation.
