Lol.. My husband got me a total of 23 Bresse eggs from 2 different breeders..

no idea what he paid for them .. but I know he said they weren't cheap


he said the the Euskal Oiloa eggs weren't cheap either.. So I'm glad he was listening when I was telling him which breeds I wanted to get

Those Euskal Oilia birds you posted are stunning! I am only focusing on Wyandottes so I can do my best, but those make me want to add them to my pasture. They are beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, if I had a chance at some eggs I would jump on them.

if i cant spend that much on a dz eggs you cant spend that much on ONE chick!!! lol
maybe a birth day present for me?!lol

Wow they certainly do command a price on their unsexed day olds! Nice web design and pics!

Oh they come in other colors too... Silver Grey white: colored: cuckoo and Crele plus some people have project birds going on which can be other colors

Wow I love the cuckoo!!!

 

[CatKai]

Pretty!

I keep needing more coops...

The Euskal Oiloa are from Spain..said to be extremely intelligent and make a nice meat bird.. also one of the friendliest breed around. Some people refuse to butcher theirs because they are so nice. They are also a good layer.

Anyone know what the sickness/ disease is that makes a "plug" of plaque ( Like what forms in your arteries that causes a heart attack) in the Trachea right where the voice box or " Crow Box" is? It's suffocated 27 birds, but I finally got rid of it. Im just curious as to what it was!

All my birds right now are kind of sick. They all have runny noses and sneezing. Abnormal droppings. Some have liquid orange, Tar, And white kind that screws their vent feathers up! There's 3 birds who's eyes are swollen all the way like a ring around the eye. 2 died from that. Some are always a tad huddled up. They seem better once they come out to free range for an hour everyday, but can't go out any longer because it's so cold! By the way these are all my bantams and cockerels and pullets.
