    I incubate mine at 37.5 degrees Celsius and 45% RH. I found nearly 100% hatch rates with Brodie’s though. I feed mine organic free range layers pellets as adults, chick crumb with coccidiosistat in it as chicks and organic growers until they start laying.

    I doubt there is much difference, I think it's more just colouring, mine are chamois pencilled so they should have white tail and patterned/coloured body but I've had good pencilled and they have the gold in the same place but the white is replaced with black

    Thank you, they look very nice, do you have a chamois rooster as well then? If so when he breeds to the gold does it throw gold or chamois chicks or a mixture

    Chamois pencilled is the most common colour, then silver and gold and the others like blacks etc are very rare. They are good layers and start laying at about 21 weeks if conditions are right.

    essentially friesians are barred but its called pencilling, I think its partly because barred breeds have barring on bot male and female, but pencilled have it only on female, like friesians, the males are solid colours.how have your friesians turned out?
