Yes, That is correct.Thanks this is really helpful, so is it possible to have cameo hen with flights? because i just want to keep these cameo hens if they were split to white.
Good luck with your eggs, this is a perfect ratio, my first 12 eggs only 6 were fertile.Beautiful baby Q8

i just noticed i didn't write **white flight feathers** but you got thatYes, That is correct.
After I was having soft eggs I was feeding them calcium grit and egg shells. I still was getting someone laying soft eggs and narrowed it down to my white peahen Snow White. I started hand feeding the peahens the egg shell pieces and that works very well. That way I can hand feed Snow White calcium and know that she is getting it. Also the peahens come running up to get their egg shell so they know that they need it and gobble it up. I haven't seen another soft egg so far I hope Snow White keeps getting her calcium. So if you can try and hand feed them egg shell pieces so you can be sure that they are getting the calcium and not the peacocks.I have to say, I'm not really liking this breeding season so far.Only 4 of my hens have layed and the first one started almost a month ago, none of these four are very regular and I am seeing a lot more discomfort and distress from them than is normal. They are anywhere from 3 years old to 10 years old so no common denominators there. Only white and pied hens laying so far, nothing from my BS, Cameo, or IB's. They are also a range of ages. Everyone is on layer feed, with oyster shell available and scrambled eggs w/ shell every other day, still a couple soft eggs, and these are our first soft eggs in 18 years. Very unusual and worrisome season for us. Anyone else seeing any major departures from their norm?![]()
