I have heard that if you are actually able to get them to join your flock, they are a great asset. They will willingly perch along side your more docile Gallus Gallus at night, and have been known to offer protection. Many flock keepers have gone to tend their flocks in the morning, and found the remains of common chicken predators laying under the perches. Coons, weasels and owls seem to be a favored treat for the GGPF. I personally would love to try hatching some of these birds. If any readers know where I can find some fertile eggs, please PM. However, I want to be sure that I get eggs of pure bred GGPF, and not hybrids.
My understanding is that hatching is a breeze and cleanup is non-existent as they actually kind of "chew" their way out of the shell. And then they eat the shell. Easy-peasy. Then the best thing to feed them is a little raw hamburger for the first three days or so...
Can't find them on Ebay though...it sure would help me with the predator problem....how cute, huh?
