The Pita Pinta Asturiana

[dldolan]

And yes, all roosters get a game bird booster and de-parasitized before egg collection season. Always have free choice oyster shell out all year. Sigh.

How would you describe their temperament?

Th hens are calm, docile and human friendly.

The roosters are usually friendly too. I did have one that was a bit aggressive but I have had worse. Most of them are like big puppy dogs

Does anyone have orange (roxa capa) or Pinto colored?

What is pinto colored

"Pita Pinto
This is the variety that has the mottled mantle and it may be the best known. Its color of feather is of an intense brown color, that can get to cover all the body to him, except for the tail that can be totally of white color. In the case of combining white with brown, only the tip of the feathers and that of its tail and wings will be white."

I keep hoping that Green Fire farms will import some
