Calling all Penedesencas Owners/Breeders

[Hangtown Farms]

I was wondering if someone could post good pictures of wheaton Penedesencas.

I will email Laura Undem and ask if she has any.

I've been translating the standards for Penes and Emps. I have already posted the Black standard and it is in the files section of the pene yahoo group site.
The others are almost complete and hopefully I'll post them by the weekend. Emps will take a little longer since I haven't found as much info (perhaps I haven't looked hard enough)

these are from Sand Hill minus the young rooster I got from Ron. They are active and Hardy. I do not think they will be the best examples but am going to work with what I got. Hoping Rons Rooster is a good example to help. If anything should be another line. Though sadly I do not remember where Ron got his

He came from Florida--some flock that has not been open since 2001 or so.

They were supposed to be good but who knows?

This is the Black Pene pullet from Florida--Jason has her brother:







She did not want to stand there--Flying around the living room seemed much more fun....

At what age does the carnation comb become evident?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

On cocks it is easily evident by the second month. On pullets it takes almost to adulthood.

I just took a picture of a dozen eggs with an Ancona egg added for reference. They're not all that dark but looking pretty good.

Can I post this on the Dark Egg layer and OE thread? Some on there think Marans lay the darkest eggs even though they have very little to no experience with Penedesencas.....

Those are great eggs!
