really? All my half Honas have been 100% wild raised free ranging. Even the adults appear highly hearty I wouldn't of ever though of that.

TBH I am more breeder for stocker birds for meat. I may introduce silkies for personal enjoyment. My flock will probably not be "pure" Hona but I am focusing for the meat market ^^;

Hona make awesome moms! Had one hen hatch two batches, first with 14 chicks and another with eight!

These guys are going to be spoil rotten spawns knowing how small they are...I imagine it wouldn't be hard to get into the bantam range...and It would let me have my... Ahem sorry rambling >_>

I live in MS were the humidity is rarely under 50 and more often that not over 75% on a daily basis so dry hatching may be the key for me..

Third line as in a subline someone been working on haha. Probably will do that, I plan on using the culls for *prepares for backlash* crossing into silkies to breed for meat birds to sale to the local Asian market. I hold no plans of selling any culls unless they are process ;)

Okay, I would like to talk breedIng strategy with ya if that is possible. I have a pair of young Swedish with some faults (toenails) and I am getting a pair of pure (as in all back) Swedish this March. I am thing of splitting the pair with putting young rooster with good hen and young hen with...
