A quote from a buyer about my egg packing method:
"Hi Yashar, I just received the eggs and put them in the incubator. I really like how you packed them! This was only the third time I have received eggs, but I have not seen, nor could imagine a better packing method. Thanks for the extra eggs!"


Colloncas are one of the original and most ancient breeds of the Mapuche Indian culture of Chile. Part of our bloodline comes from the University of Concepcion in Chili.
They produce generous numbers of colourful eggs and like many South American fowl lay well into the winter. Some hens will produce a pale sea foam hued egg, others robin blue, ash gray and even lilac. A single pair of Colloncas may produce hens that each lay a different colour.

Colloncas are best known for innate tameness. They enjoy being held but unlike Silky fowl, which also enjoy human companionship, the Colloncas is completely winter hardy and can evade predators ably. It is a fairly strong flier and one of the more quiet breeds. Colloncas are very good at tick and fly control and are traditionally kept with sheep and llamas.
The Colloncas is one of the two primary ancestors of the Araucana. It is advisable that the poultier keep at least two roosters with a flock of hens, three is the ideal number as Colloncas have strong pair bonds and the roosters work in cooperation to defend and chaperon hens and chicks. As a rule, true Colloncas roosters do not fight with one another and are never aggressive with people.

Are you NPIP?

Fellow came out from the state and poked every one of my adult birds and took their blood away (not all their blood). I never got a number or a plaque to hang on my wall...that I'm aware of. He never came back and told me I was a threat to the Agra-chicken people... That's all I know, so maybe I'm not. He did put an ugly metal leg band on them, I keep on meaning to take them off.

LOL! Yep - that sounds about like what happened with me - except they don't band them in TN. Not too long after the state guy came out, they sent a little card to me with an NPIP number - but the envelope was buried under some junk mail for a few weeks before I ever saw it. For all the hoopla, you'd think they'd send a framed full-sized award with a gold seal!

thats funny Yashar... knowing how well you take care of your birds. I'm wishing I would have gotten the collonca instead of the SPQ so I could still be getting eggs... I got an early season order of Sweet Potato Quechua and Huastec and the 4 that remain are totally lovely - and I am so lucky that I seem to have a pair of Huastec; the lady is black with a nice crest and the other is a Super knockout Icy white with the most wonderful face. They have the nicest personalties. Alas, the SPQ are both ladies I assume, since they are both butterscotch overlay of feathers on a undercoat of blue. I think roosters would be black?? One of their combs is reddening, so hopefully I will find a different egg in the henhouse one of these days.

,hello -- i'm interested in these, but want to know how they do in a mixed flock? i have 25+ rocks, RIR, EE, barnyard mutts, Cornish Game, Wyandottes & leghorns that free range on our property in hot, dry west TX...would these do well in that type of environment? i would be slipping the eggs under one of my broody hens to hatch out & raise. thanks!

 

[Yashar]

Yes, they do well in a mixed flock.
