Hello everyone,
I'm living in the eastern French countryside and just began breeding my own chicks.
I fell for the adorable Japanese Bantams a while ago and when my flock started to fade (thank you Mr Fox) I wanted to add some new ones but I had trouble to find around here. So after 1 1/2 years of desperately searching I decided to hatch myself.
So far I got a bunch of millefleur/porcelaine chicks out of the incubator (eggs delivered by postal service), amateur as I am the success was rather disappointing, from the first batch of 34 eggs, 7 hatched (3 different sources) another 22 are due in a couple of weeks. ( Some do's and don'ts learned the hard way.)
I'am deeply interested in chicken colors and genetics and followed several threads I stumble up on googling informations, especially on mottled (why choosing an easy color when you can do complicated) and well here I am.
So happy to be here.
Kind regards from France
