The Pita Pinta Asturiana

[ronott1]

Well I can cough up some dough but I'm out for travel. Plus I'm working on setting up my silver lab breeding program. Come to find my promising boy has a knee issue and he is out. I would help but someone has to take lead. Unless we would be content setting aside quads to swap each other.... .

We will be ok for quite some time. We have a very good start here.

Another source is Germany--Pita Pintas are big there too.

My main problem is the language.

Do you need a cockerel??? I have several extra that I will be processing on Sat. I would love to have a reason to come up your way!

I am out of this project, I got a pair from a US breeder and he sold me his culls, then I was trying to import to the states and USDA doesn't want to cooperate, I learned a lot from this breed, my friends told me that this is the hardest breed to work with, even many of the Spanish breeder doesn't want to ship eggs.

Are you interested in eggs? Most of my birds have more white than your pair.

I apreciate your offer but at this momemnt NO, they are hard the keep 50?50 mottled apperance. Even you have to deal with comb, roña (beak and feet, shanks black spots) even his shape. I may try another mediterranean breed, I'm still dealing with USDA.

Thanks again.
I have a question for you
How much do they eggs weight?

My girls do not lay big eggs, yet. The 1 1/2 yr old hens are laying eggs that weigh 40-45 g and the pullets from last year's hatches usually lay eggs that weigh 30-35 g. I'll try to keep track of egg weights as the season progresses.

Edited to say that this old lady should not be weighing eggs after 11 PM! My weights were incorrect. I weighed them again this morning and the hen eggs are 65-72 g. The pullet eggs are 55-65 g.

Pita Pintas? They are laying 64G eggs.

I can weigh yesterdays....66G, 62G and 62G. One of the pullets lays eggs that are in the high 50s but yesterdays was bigger. Maybe I got the bigger egg laying genes?

You must have. Let me go check mine again without using the tare feature.

Okay, I don't know what I did last night at 11 PM when I weighed these eggs. I used a small bowl with the tare feature but it sure did not give me a correct weight. I just grabbed a few out of the incubator that I set last night. The hen eggs weighed 65-72 g and the pullet eggs were 55-65 g. That sounds more like they should be. Maybe the batteries in my scale are starting to go out!

The first three Pita Pinta eggs did not develop.

I just popped 13 in there for try #2!

I hope they develop!
