She is Okay. She hasn't laid since July. She went into a molt after being broody for a month and just finished that molt in November. She's between 2- 4 years old. Don't think she'll lay again until spring. When she started laying for us last year, she was good. She stays on her eggs for long periods after laying. I think next year I'll let her actually brood. She only had two eggs, both chicks were dead under her and I got discouraged and broke her. Not sure if she killed them, as there was no blood or peck marks. Hard to say.
These ones? That colouring is mottled. These guys are houdans
All grown up. Gigi. I sexed him at 2 weeks by the picture above. He's the front chick.
Here is a pullet from the same brood. Skittles. These birds are large. They are dual purpose, and good layers of large white eggs.
You can get mottling in many breeds.
Gigi won reserve continental at our provincial fall show. I was so excited, because there were a lot in the class!
