Calling all Penedesencas Owners/Breeders

[ronott1]

My Our Fly Babies Penesesencas are starting to lay eggs! I found the first egg from them this morning. I have one Wheaten pullet and three Partridge pullets in the pen.

Good size run Jason. I need to get busy making another run/coop. Bought the wood but then the dogs killed 1/2 the flock so didn't need to build it.

The crele you sent is developing well. My wife says he purrs. Which is cool because I think my kids wanted me to get them a cat for Christmas. That's not happening. ;-) What do we need a cat for when we have a purring chicken. One of my daughter's asked what do we do with him once he gets older. I think she means when he begins crowing. My neighbor's pitbull will have company filling the night with noise I guess.

I asked for an incubator for Christmas so might be of mind to get some more crele from my friend in CA....

I have some partridge penes ordered from Meyer. Does Meyer get their's from Gabbard like MPC does? Would like to sometime qualify in being a breeder of penes.

This is from a 2010 post:

I just purchased Partridge Penedesenca chicks from Meyer's, the first Hatch Date, I ordered 6 and got 5 from the eggs they hatched. I asked about the birds, they told me none of the birds are there, they purchase eggs in a 750 mile radius, and more than likely mine were from Amish. The only birds that are there are the Owners Own Personal Flock was what I was told, if I saw any birds in the yard, which I didn't see any.

Meyers has a very nice Store, I was impressed with what they did carry for birds. It was like a Tractor Supply Store with Chicken Items Only.

we had a good snow and its cold here 27 now with a low of 9 tonight
The Black penedesenca came out but the rest are still in the coops. I heated there water cleaned the snow out and ran back to the fire place.
the netting held well even the shade cloth I forgot to take down that there was no way I was going to do when it was 22 last night and near blizzard conditions held.
My brooder by the house and my Turbo Regal under the carport even was covered in snow

I did it again. I got a rebuke from the Heritage thread because I suggested that Black Penedesenca would be a good Small Dual purpose breed.

I was told it was not Heritage because it was not in the American SOP so I suppose it should not have been mentioned as a possibility? You can show them here. Just provide the judge with a copy of the Spanish standard.

Black is in the Spanish SOP and has been since 1946. It sounds very Heritage to me and still a gook Small Dual Purpose Large Fowl.

Some people are Odd I suppose.

Yes I know! It is also heavily Moderated.

I have subscribed to a Farming and Homesteading thread to see if it is better that way.
