I am looking for others that have Wheaten Penedesencas. I am in GA and have one pair. My hen came from Gabbard and my rooster came from Poole. I am staring 8 eggs tonight and hopefully will have a decent hatch in three weeks. My chicks are always solid yellow just as they are supposed to...
I have two Black Copper Hens that just hatched six Wheaten chicks. My Wheaten hen hasn't shown signs of going broody so I stuck her eggs under the Coppers.
The two hens share being Mom. (shhhhhhhhhhh don't tell the Coppers, the eggs weren't theirs). This is their second brood that they have...
I went to my first poultry show a few weeks ago and would love to learn more about showing.
My husband got excited and wants me to show my Royal Plam and While Holland turkeys.

I am trying to figure out how to tell the difference between an adult partridge and wheaten rooster.
I have 2 roosters. I know one is partridge and the other might be wheaten.
I have a nice partridge hen...

Are you sure it's not a genetic thing?
I have hatched several batches with my incubator and the pennes are the only ones that have had crippled feet.
HI I am in Douglasville, GA
I got two sets of hatching eggs last year with partridge and wheaten eggs. I had a very poor hatch rate. One hen and 3 roosters from the first 12 eggs. Two roosters had crippled feet. One with the correct partridge color and one with a very light color. Then I...
