@PetRock Pita Pinta question.

PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME that the pita pinta boys grow faster than the girls. I have one baby that is OVER twice as big as the others!?!

I can answer that one. Yes, the boys grow very fast.

It is impressive!

Hon

How is the broody girl from me doing?  Her eggs should be hatching tomorrow or Sat.

honestly not good. She went cold on them eggs once I let her out on day 3. She freaked out once she heard the others, flew out my arms and I had to catch her at the neighbors house 9pm, but she's finally settled. I tried getting her to sit on them eggs after I got her back in and she just stepped all over them cracking two. it's all good though because she's flat as a pancake now going on day 2. She just needed time to adjust. She is very lovely by the way, thank you.

Ok! Cause check this out!

My olandsk girls grow a tad faster than the boys at first. I def have NEVER watched growth like this. AND it means I have 5 girls and 1 boy. Unbelievable!!!!!!

For those of you who have hatched with a broody, can a large fowl hatch out bantam eggs, or will mama squash them?

That is a boy and a girls for sure. You can tell by the comb already.

Very nice!

The Boys grow almost as fast at the Bresse boys do.

In my experience, yes. My LF turken just hatched out 3 teeny banties. They are so funny together.
It might have more to do with the personality of the hen. My turken, Pumpkin, is co-boss hen of my flock but has shown herself to be a very attentive gentle mamma.
The little ones seem more feisty to make up for what they lack in size.

LOL! I have noticed that with most of my boys. Zorro is a pretty big boy and I have a couple really big pullets so maybe he has good genes! When I hatched my original PP eggs from Megan, there were 7 girls and 2 boys. I've noticed that I have been getting more than 50% pullets in my PP hatches which is good!

The 6 Pita Pinta Langshan cross chicks are now bigger than the Bresse chicks they hatched with. They are all 13-14 weeks. The Bresse seem a little more compact and solid. They may be ready for processing a few weeks before the crosses. The PP/Langshan crosses definitely have them beat in the leg department!
