Calling all Penedesencas Owners/Breeders

Do you cook the rice and barley before feeding it? Is it whole or ground? Thanks

It's uncooked and basically whole. The rice is kinda busted-up (into halves or thirds) simply because that's how we buy it, from a local grower. But the barley is totally whole.

Very serious,

I Put my flock on specific diets before I sold Marans eggs,
And let me tell you those Marans eggs were rust-mahogany color definite level 7-8 on the Marans chart.

I don't know how to post pics on here otherwise I would show you all the eggs from my marans.
and Penedesenca. I use to sell Marans eggs on ebay, If I figure out how to post pics you might recognize
them if you were into the whole Marans craze.

Thanks For sharing the good news with us BYC'ers.

so are you saying Josh that if i had this "special formula" and gave it to my cuckoo marans, they might lay a totally dark egg like they should be doing. right now, I am giving them laying pellets, and table scraps and bread along with it in the winter for extra warmth to them.

Hatching Penes??? anything special you all have noticed for them?

I locked down 6 eggs on day 18, today is day 21, the Light Brahmas and 2 Seramas hatched, one BCM has pipped, but nothing from the Wellies & Pens! I dropped humidity to 60 this morning after reading Wheaties thread about dry hatching ( https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=113681 ).
Any ideas?

Thank you

(starting rice cooker with barley & rice in a sec!)
