Quote: All of our Breda layed medium/large bright white eggs! However we have let the flock slowly sell off because we want the largest birds we can get.

We have decided not to follow through with the Breda. We bought Greenfire's imported splash rooster and we like him and his hens. However we have decided to stay with the larger birds as we continue on our journey to retirement. May as well get as much meet on the plate as possible...

Thanks for the compliment on the birds. Hummm, we like large fowl. We figure any breeding program is gonna produce excess birds and they may as well be large enough to make a meal. So, we have silver birchen marans, blue birchen marans, splash marans, wheaten marans, buff braggs mountains...

this is our splash breda rooster, bought from GF, imported from Endland our splash hen blue hens black hen

I would have to label the Breda as medium size foul. We have Blue Laced Wyandottes, Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, Silver Birchen, Blue Birchen, Splash and Blue Wheaten Marans, Buff Braggs Mountain, Exchequer Leghorns. The Breda are larger than the Leghorns but not anyone else. They have been...

We are enjoying our Breda so far. Our size inclination is being satisfied by the Marans, Rhodebars, Basque and Braggs Buff Mountains. We were fortunate to win an auction and acquire an adult splash Breda Rooster from Greenfire. He really is a stunning specimen! We have not seen anything that...

GaryDean26 .... we have not made plans to show any of our birds. We also raise Longhorns which take up a good deal of our days away from work.

We finally got a pen to thurn the Breda into. We have the splash imported male and we believe a younger black male. Then there is a black hen, splash hen and three blue hens. What a pretty little flock. The look funny high steppig in the tall grass because of their vulture hocks.

The blue color in the Breda is like most others in that they do not breed true. Black x Black = 100% black Black x Blue = 50% black 50% blue Blue x Blue = 25% black 50% blue 25% splash Splash x Splash = 100% splash Splash x Blue = 50% splash 50% blue Splash x Black = 100% blue

Does anyone have mature Breda fowl ? We have a trio laying but not sure how long they have been laying. Just wondering what size eggs you are seeing. What we are getting is a small egg. If the birds weren't so unusual we wouldn't keep them for the eggs that for sure.

You are correct without the comb it does take longer. We have noticed the waddle get larger faster in the roos but it is not as quick a tell as the combs. If anyone else notices something please share.

Don't really know if he is fully grown or not but the Imported Splash Rooster we won on the Rare Bird Auction was weighed today and was only 4 lb 3 oz. He was the smallest rooster on the property. I am pretty sure the hens are not full grown as yet. The eggs we are getting at this time are...

"I feed mine crushed egg shells. I find it works better for me." WELASHARON ..... we have both and will offer free choice a mix of both, thanks This was a bit funny to me 'cause we found them a bit smaller than we wanted. We won the splash imported roo a few weeks back. I assume he is a...

We have gotten several eggs from this small group that were soft shelled. The eggs was in a very pliable translucent sack. We though the injured/blind hen was laying that egg but we got another after she was gone. Will add oyster shell to their feeding schedule and watch. If it keeps up we...

We decided to put the blind black hen down rather than watch her waste away. We have the splash rooster in with the balck and blue hens. We are getting two eggs a day now. We have no idea what rooster may have been with these hens so at this point we won't know who the rooster daddy may be if...

The blind hen seems to be declining. We will likely put her down this weekend.

We have made an interesting observation. The rooster seems to call the blind hen to show her there is food and water. They are still caged together for the time being not sure how this may work in a larger enclosure?

I wanted to be sure and tell all that Greenfire got back with us on the blind bird. Profuse appologies and sent another right away, it should be here tomorrow or Friday. They have been great to work with and we love the quality of their birds! *** When I reread my note below I see I wrote...

Thanks everyone we are excited to have this beautiful fellow. He is just as beautiful in person as he is in the pictures. He is a bit smaller than I expected though. I guess I am getting used to the size of my Marans and everything else is just a bit smaller. Haven't really had any time to...
