Hmm.. I've got Bresse laying hens, but only 5 month old cockerels that aren't really ready yet. I may have some later on, like maybe in a couple months. Not sure if I want to breed from such young cockerels, though. I may wait until September to put them together. They are all non Greenfire, different line.
I've been wondering about the meat quality of the Svart Hona's though... I understand they have black meat like the Ayem Cemani's, right? What's the flavor/quality? And what about "quantity"? Are they meaty or a smaller/lighter breed?

The part I am worried about (I worry about them too much, I know) is now her voice seems to be going away? Kind of like when a human gets a cold/sore throat and your voice sounds froggy. She usually has a very distinct little trill sounds and now it's like a whisper. I checked for anything in the throat, found nothing. Crop was big last night and empty this morning. Eating, drinking, and pooping on schedule. We had issues with tapeworms in the summer but I don't think they affect the throat area and I'm deworming regularly. Any ideas of what this could be?
