The Pita Pinta Asturiana

[ronott1]

2 of the pita pinta eggs hatched and 2 pullets managed to stay alive! I guess they are my younger roos' babies. but the weird thing is they both have 2-3 tiny feathers on their shanks (front side). the only feathered feet breed I have is silkie and there is no way pita pinta hens mated them. I kept silkies confined. btw, these 2 pullets look like pita pinta (single comb, black and white). I just don't understand where the feathers come from.

Nice!

If you have picture of them, please post them here.

Neat to read. I MISS MY CHICKENS....SO MUCH. My life is different....
and making the Best of it. I remember the SERENITY PRAYER. I ask God TO
grant me the SERENITY
to accept the things I cannot change, the COURAGE to change the things I can
and this WISDOW to know the difference. LOOKING forward to see picture of
them. Aria

unfortunately those pullets are at a friend of mine. he hatched them together with his chicks and still keeps them.

I don't think feathers on the shanks would be visible on a pic. there are just a few of them and they are tiny.

Some feather do show up on birds sometimes.

If you were going to Breed them for show quality, it would not be up to standard but that is not important if you are going for production.

thank you. there is no chicken show here, so it is ok for me to keep them. I hope my younger roo can produce healthy chicks with my 2 hens. I can try the older roo with the pullets.

These are my babies from Greenfire Farms! I have five red mottled pita pintas growing and are about 3 weeks old. The first photo is from May 12 and the last two are from May 19 - need to get another photo! It is so hard for me to tell which will turn out to be a rooster or hen! They are very friendly and curious. Excited for them to grow into their beautiful colors
