That's the nature of Penedesencas. They are fine and even friendly once mature if they are free ranging, but in a pen or coop, they go ballistic. As long as they know they have an escape route, they are calm. Get them between you and a wall or fence and they go nuts.



I never thought I would see the day either. But it is next to impossible to find any of these birds, let alone an unrelated one. That's why I hatch a lot and try to have several roosters of each line. That way, if I lose one it isn't a huge loss.
I do send birds with unexplained deaths to the vet school for necropsies and complete lab work.
I've had 4 chicken related vet visits in my life. One was just to have a fecal read. All were for Penedesencas. I have to weigh the value of the bird to determine if I want to spend any money for a vet.

Come here and I will manage to get for you at least 30 black Pendensenca eggs......

The goat barn expansion was about getting tractor access.

I don't think it does much for my toes, but at least I have toes

I am trying to decide if I want to mess with a brooder, or wait on a broody. I hate integrating chicks.

@mlm Mike One of the show does I reserved a kid from is due now. The other is due in February. It is an investment, but I am hoping to close my heard except for the occasional buck or semen infusion. I have a chance to get either five straws from a great buck, or one of his kids. The cost is the same. Which would you do?

Our toes might as well be on Mars. If I'm going to freeze anything, it'll be those toes!

You would like our 25F., but my truck is a giant tin can that takes forever to generate heat, and then leaks cold by the floor anyway so my toes stay cold. It is a battle since I hate driving in heavy boots.

I definitely would! You are so right!
That's what we're getting for temps right now and we're loving it!

Is it a diesel?
