Hens=wine
I like these idea's
So does the color and strength of the wine change with what kind of hen is available?

We have some pretty high test. Midnight on the Bluff chocolate cherry port is 20% abv. Most of our alcohol content is higher than commercial wine. We also have a mead (honey wine) which is my particular favorite. Then there's also Garden Tonic. I'm gonna have to post some pics. We have apricot to Italian amarone all homemade.

Dheltzrl and Blarney, there's a thread on here regarding cuckoo and white Marans. The white is a recessive of the cuckoos, at least recessive out of the current genetics. When Marans first came to the U.S. I had a small flock of cuckoos but never had any hatch with much white beyond an occasional white tail feather. Lots of solid blacks though.

I didn't hatch for several years and ended up starting again with cuckoos from someone on BYC. Since then I've had birds that are mostly white with black neck feathers similar to Delawares or light brahmas.

Thanks! This is helpful. I did follow that thread a while back (when I had a white Marans) but haven't been there in a bit.
 
I'm at my in-laws, so they don't have as much as at home, but here are just a few.

Glad you got some.... I had a nurse I know provide me with a 30gallon garbage bag full of them last month, she had found them at the hospital!!   If you are storing large numbers of them for hatching purposes you may want to check at a local hospital or nursing home (or anywhere with an industrial kitchen) to see if they have the 48? count 'flats'.... I'm not sure what number they hold, but I know they get them in the bulk quantity size cartons.

For the ones waiting to be incubated, I just put them into the plastic flats that I slide into the incubator. The ones we are short on are the 1 dozen size for sell eating eggs. Still have plenty of the 18 count cartons, but many people want the dozen size.

We use the 18 count egg cartons for our personal use eggs - I keep the smaller and pointy or odd shaped eggs for us, and the nicer ones get sold.

Happy New Year!!



So are we too strange??.... we spent the NY Eve canning chicken!  LOL.... and were in the kitchen counting 'pops' when the official NY hit... :confused:

and in other NY Eve news, I found another hen in a nest box tonight.... looks like Gracie is wanting to be another January broody! (she hatched last winter on Dec 1 and the winter before that on January 28th, she doesn't care about the weather!)

What an awesome way to spend New Years! Nothing in the world like the fulfilling sound of that 'Ping'.

Dheltzel, doesn't seem to be a standard, I have 6 that all look about the same, hens are just a little smaller. 2 of the hens have more of a thick silkie like feathering.
Eggs are a little bigger than the bantam Cochin and a light tan color..
Very friendly and vocal birds
They fit in nicely with the bantam Cochin.
The flock that they came from has a few solid colors,
We shall see what the next generation brings
