So how is the java egg production? What size eggs are you getting?
Java eggs I have seen from 3 or 4 different bloodlines are all about the same.
They are light light tannish-pink in color like the Buckeye egg, usually longer than big around, a more torpedoe shape than round.
Size is in the commercial equivilant of a medium to large egg.
Not seeing very many double yolkers in these heritage breeds as I do in newer breeds and commercial layers who are designed to pump out OVA.
They do go broody, so far not as bad as Buckeyes do !
But they do go broody and make very good Mothers.
I have a wonderful java hen from haTHOR sitting on 11 eggs right now.
She is an absolute doll, and most talkative as well !
The hen is in a layer flock, and I gave her 11 eggs from the breeder flock of Bowen Javas.
So far, she is sitting tight !
My question is would they be o.k. in pairs? I know not many people around here are patient in waiting for their chicks to grow and produce and their is NO way I will give them up to the feed store even if i have to build separate living quarters for the boys.
