    Understandable. I know once we decide on getting a few more birds to expand the flock a bit I sure don't like to wait around, especially when I go into the feed store and there all cute & fluffy and just right there in front of me, begging me to take 'em home! Lol... Last summer, that's exactly...

    The Svart Hona (Swedish Black Hen) Thread!

    Lol...Well I figured it would taste a little bit like chicken :rolleyes: Have you eaten only the cockerels, or the hens too? I just wonder if it's a bit gamey across the board or more like some cockerels in general can be. I may try Caponizing one for comparison to see if it makes much...

    2017 Zodiac Hatch-a-Long

    Getting ready to set some more eggs here. On the last hatch I had 1/2 that hatched with the moon in Pisces but 1/2 were in Aries. I'm gonna try one more time, setting on the last possible night for a moon favorable hatch 3wks out...I swear, every other time I've hatched without paying attention...

    The Svart Hona (Swedish Black Hen) Thread!

    I personally can't wait to raise up some of these Svarthönas that I'm hatching now so that I can cull a couple of cockerels & see what they taste like! I have never tried the meat of a fibromelanistic bird yet (silkies just don't seem worth the effort:)

    Welcome back to BYC the Great Home away from Home, and Welcome to TEXAS, Tuscola Clucks! I am not really sure how I stumbled across your thread but it's kinda' neat that I did since I actually raise Swedish Flower Hens, plus, also... live here in Texas! We do have a few other breeds, too...

    2017 Zodiac Hatch-a-Long

    Well, I realize that they would normally be weaker hatching out so late... But what if they hatch out late on a lunar favorable date? I wonder if they would be less weakened by it.

    2017 Zodiac Hatch-a-Long

    It is the hatch day that counts. You want them to hatch during a waxing moon, in the fruitful signs (the water signs) of Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio. February 7th & 8th are the favorable hatch days for chicks so setting eggs on January 17-18th was the recommended timing. If you set yours late on...
