Thanks!

My Youngest Daughter was letting one of them fall asleep in her hand yesterday. They are amazingly friendly and calm for being part Penedesenca.

Hahaha. Penedesencas are very beautiful birds! are they bantam sized? they look so small!

my Little brother decided to check out my chick milkshake the other day....she may be a olive egger? maybe not...idk. she is some silkie mix.


So Ron, the 5 of the 7 OE mix chicks hatched! im so excited! their wing feathering so far is wonderfully unique! They are OE cross crosses...The mom is an OE cross already, now crossed with either a silkie and/or a Japanese Bantam. IM SO EXCITED to se how they grow!








Parents:
Mom:

Their dads:
so, is it possible these babies could be Jap and Silkie crosses, and have two dads? the babies have jap legs, and also have blackish feathers, and some black skin.

Nice!

They are Small Large Fowl. They are bigger than Bantams but not too big. They lay very nice large eggs.

This is a great picture

Penedesenca roosters should weigh 5-5 1/2 lbs hens 4- 41/2
they are lean so they are not that small looking

The black are larger averaging 6-6 1/2 lbs hens in the 5-5 1/2 range

Ron I am getting work though translations are hard in Catalan that they may be working on a larger black. The poster I sent shows him in the center. He may be more like the guy you gave me
These ones look big not sure on the weight but would guess 8 to 10 lbs. Guy may know more on that as well.

I will get the ebay information that I have.

Guy know him though and said they were from a flock that has been closed since 2000. There was a lot of interest in seeing what the breeder had done with them.
