My Partridge Silkie (wilhelmina) has begun laying regularly- that I expected-- what I didn't expect is that our rosecomb rooster Ferdinand would be the eggy-daddy.
I have been collecting her eggs and softly lamenting the fact that the eggs I checked from her a week ago were unfertilized.
She is such sweet and adorably fluffly butt.
But the idea that our roo would actually well-- pull it off so to speak was silly I thought.
He is half her size-- maybe if that..
So imagine my surprise today when I cracked into her eggs to make a spinach
omlet and saw that each and every one had a bullseye bright as day. The egg practically screamed "IM FERTILE"
the minute I looked at it.
So now- hypothetically I wonder what it would look like and even more wondered about all the crazy crosses out there. I'd love to see everyone crazy cross breeds.
Here is a pic of my Winnie and Ferdinand.
