Egyptian Hodoms

Looks like a silkie/cochin cross.
Very pretty, though.

oops!! her goes again,

I don't think so...............................the professor for poultry science at a college said they were Egyptian Houdans or something like that.

 

[DuckLady]

Well, I have had several of these and they were silkie cochin crosses from my own birds.

I hope you didn't pay too much for them.

A houdan looks like a polish with well brushed hair.

This is from Feathersite

If one will buy a Egyptian Houdan, there has to be another out there that want the same. I would hatch a bunch, then sell thier eggs, shouldn't hold eggs for a whole week before shipping, and in order to sell 1/2 dozen you would have to hold for a whole week.

No, I didn't pay anything for them, my grandmother bought them for me. I still want to know for sure what they are. OH!!!! They can't be silkie/cochins because the man I bought them from doesn't have cochins.

 

[peeps7]

What do you mean md?

Yup, those are definitely silkie crosses...the blue beak, mulberry colored comb, dark skin and feathered feet say that...crossed with what, though...that is the question.
Hope you didn't pay a fortune...for they are mutts.

If the hen lays 1 egg a day it will take 6 days to get 1/2 dozen, the first few will have been waiting too long to ship.
