Welcome to the breed! I love my Pita Pinta! My roosters are not obnoxiously loud or frequent crowders but it can vary bird to bird. I have been breeding them for years and have never had an aggressive rooster. They aren’t over friendly sit in your lap boys but are respectful and good with the...

My chickens like it and empty the bowls every day. I also scatter sprouted grain for them and veggie scraps. They go for the scattered grain first and then the fermented feed. I do add things in to the feed before giving it to them. Sea kelp, alfalfa, calendula flowers, oregano, shredded...

My latest Pita Pinta mini hatch. ❤️ They will be 4 weeks on Sunday!

Yeah!!! 😁

I only breed Pita Pinta and Langshan but I love having an eclectic layer flock with different colors of eggs.

Sorry that I didn’t spell out black copper marans. It went through my mind but I chose the easier way. I do all my posting from my iPhone and with my fat fingers it is easier to use abbreviations! 😆

I love my Pita Pinta! I recently hatched some along with some BCM. They are so cute in the brooder together! I’ll try to take some pics of them later!

Beautiful!!!

Looks like a cockerel to me!!! He’s so cute!!!
