Hi, this thread is pretty slow, If you should have enough Gypsy Eggs to sell some this year please contact me, I would like a start of them please!!! Thanks, LynnHere's some pics of the recent 'crele-like' colored males. I have been trying to work on towards Crele in the KW but don't have all that much to work with so it will be a slow process lol. I will have to get one of the father's pic up later. He really hates his pic taken lol. The father of these is much lighter golden colored. I think they are still a little too orangy brassy in the hackles and saddles and could have more defined barring in their hackles/saddles. Open to comments for further improvement.... There are two cockerals colored like this.
That is the truth!!! Soon as they get about 6 eggs they automatically go broody lol. You have to take them or they will hide them and try to hatch them. They will also steal other hens eggs and scoot them up underneath their wings and hop into the next nest box with them to add to their own piles lol. I had one going over a 6ft fence with eggs to take into a nest in the woods. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't catch her red-handed (or red-winged lol).Also, in case anyone is interested, these hens will take in anything. And I mean ANYTHING. They will try to hatch out tadpoles if it weren't for the water. They are excellent mothers. They will also take in orphans of other birds such as quail or even a cuckoo. I would love to find them homes. If I don't home them, they will be terrorized by the locals that hate them and the feral cats.
beautiful! How are they all doing now?
