Both of y'all's whites are males.

Am I the only one that's ever gotten rw pullets?

Interested in RW cockerel?

Ha ha ha - NO! I'm still paying for the sin of buying a Sportsman! LOL

I've been canning and freezing like crazy - just about have things under control. Now to disperse about 30 pullets... I've got some beautiful girls from your boy.

How can you tell Maggiesdad? I am guessing roo because he is more aggressive, but I don't see make tail feathers. He is more red in the face than the girl. As far as I know, he is pure basque , just white.

I can answer too!

wattles and red combs.

The legs are the wrong color as well as the shape--White legs and yellow legs are what you get with Basque hens. Not slate legs. I suppose some where in the gene pool there may have been a partridge Penedesenca that had slate in the legs but I have only seen white and yellow legs.

Are you sure that another rooster was not around the hens within four week of the eggs being laid? Was there a fence jumper? A breed with slate legs?

Well, I bought two basque eggs and hatched them. The color on both of them has been different than the first basques I have had, though the first father was taken by coyotes, so this was a new father.

I don't think there was any fence jumping as the basques are kept all in one breeding pen at this location. I am bummed, though.

I have had a hard time getting basques with yellow legs. I think my other current basque has light yellow legs but the yellow isn't as strong as on the cream legbars, that is for sure.

Thanks!

The black chick is a big boy. His feet are bigger than his broody mom's already and he has more cleavage than me.

My little Basque hen chick that hatched with the Pita Pintas is a 5 week old Cockerel. I hope he is a good one--I need one of these for my breeding program.

5 week old Pita Pintas and one Basque hen:

Can I ask where you got your Pita Pintas? Would love to get some. Thanks!

I hatched eggs from Meg2000000. I think she has broken up her pens for the year but get on her list! They are amazing chickens.

Where can you find these chickens? they're beautiful! But are they good layers?
