The New Large Fowl Crazy Egg Chain

[Thespoiledchicken]

Yea just a few...i'm trying to get ready for a bunch of more storms that are coming this way. I will try to get more taken...here's what i have.

my millies...you can just see the hen in the background

fbcm eggs, they get much darker as the hens lay more, i don't have my pictures of the parent birds on my computer yet

some of my silkie eggs

these are my black silkies when i first got them, they were still quite young. they are much bigger/more showy now.

i am in the process of getting more uploaded...with those bad storms destroying my pens/birds and backyard i've been very busy fixing everything.

Marans eggs get LIGHTER as the hens lay more- not darker

Do you have pics of your marans, or better pics of your silkies? i was looking for some SQ silkies but I don't see it in that picture. How many toes are on your silkies? How is the separation?

whites are with whites, blacks are with blacks. i've never had them together with opposite colors. there are 5, beautiful feathering on the feet. yea i can go take some newer ones, but i won't be back around til late tonight or tomorrow. i'm fixing to go get my daughter. i have pictures of my marans on my phone (the only camera i've got)

i don't show my birds but i do breed towards sop so others can. i might start letting my daughter do local fairs this summer...

ok maybe marans do lighten up as they age, but i've not seen mine do that only have gotten darker. but i've only recently aquired my maran breeding flock. so they may lighten, they are right around a year old, the people i got them from say that there own birds and the ones that they have sold have done very well in all kinds of shows...we may take a stab at it this summer too.

Mine on the Dark Brahmas

Offered:

6+ Welsh Harlequin Ducks (Holderread Line)
These ducks are such sweeties, so calm and happy they don't run away from me but come to me instead (I am the food lady after all). The girls great year round layers and are giving me an egg a day - these are some of my best over-all producers! These ladies have also shown a tendency toward broodiness and I even successfully relocated a nest last year that the little miss stuck right to like glue. As they are also excellent meat birds, too many drakes is not a bad problem to have.






Or 6+ Black Cayuga Ducks (Holderread Line)
Outstandingly hardy, great foragers, and make excellent pets or meat (or both!) averaging 7-8 lbs live weight. These ducks aren't bothered a bit by the harsh winters of the northeast and the girls are good seasonal layers, giving me coal-black eggs early in the season which then fade to a dark grey-green. Mine haven't shown a strong desire to go broody so I usually stick the eggs under a broody Cochin.




6+ White French Production Muscovy This is a French improved breeding stock that produces birds 50% larger than our American Muscovy. Very quiet and calm, lay lots of nice big eggs Feb-Nov (then tend to go broody for winter), excellent foragers. Wonderful personalities for pets: boys are super sweethearts; girls are docile... also the best broodies & mamas! (35 day incubation). For meat production, drakes usually attain a live weight of 12 pounds in 12 weeks. My typical dressed weights: Hens 3.5- 4.5 lb. and drakes 8 - 10 lb. (most dress at 9 lbs). High in meat-to-bone ratio, with less weight loss after cooking than Pekin ducks. (I have 13 multigenerational girls covered by 2 drakes; mama's regularly hatch out 12-18 babies!)
