East Frisian Gulls

[BDutch]

Yesterday I got a reply from a member of the Groninger gull association (vereniging) her in the Netherlands. The responder says the bantam Groninger Gull are friendly, easy to handle, don't flee if you stay calm and can be picked up easily.

He didn’t say that to sell eggs or chicks. He told me he moved recently and doesn’t have any chickens at the moment.

Sounds like they have nice character’s. So I really planned to buy eggs of these bantam Groninger Gulls next spring. Until I found new info about their laying capacity.

The East Frysian an Groninger gulls are related.

pS:
a large hen lays more than 120 eggs of 55 grams per year. A good bantam hen lays more than 90 eggs with an average weight of 33 grams. On another (less thrust worthy) site i found 170 eggs a year.

Well sounds like you are really doing your research!

I got a East Frisian Gull by accident from a set of greenfire hatching eggs. They where suppost to be deathlayes. She is a little skittish but the hatcher didn't give her much attention and a bought her as a 5 month old pullet. I bred her with my Gold deathlayer. her eggs are hatching today.

Sounds like a fun mix - good luck on your hatch!

I have a very small flock of Silver Frisian Gulls and am looking to add. Please contact me if you have eggs or chicks for sale.

@reclusive, this is an old thread. You are more likely to get a response if you start a new thread.

I'll have to see if I can figure out how to do that. It will be a first. Thanks for the heads up.
