The Pita Pinta Asturiana

[PetRock]

Good luck on your hatch, Ron! I have some Delaware and Pita Pinta eggs from Chris due to hatch 4/11 so right before Easter. I also have 18 of my own Pita Pinta due to hatch the same day.

It seems like every year, I end up hatching some chicks with defects. One year it was white legs and one blue eyed pullet. Then I had the weird 2 functioning ovary problem that manifested between 1-2 yrs. This year, I have one 8 week old pullet with multiple rows in her comb. I have someone who wants 2 pullets for her layer flock so she will probably go to a new home soon.

LOL!!! Well, I have1 two yr old blue eyed hen! And she had the most white of all the pullets that I hatched that year. I kept picking her out this year when we were setting up the breeding flock.

Every so often, I search the internet for more information on Pita Pinta. I sure wish that I could at least read Spanish! I found a page with several videos and one is a school unit on Pita Pinta. It is so cute!

This is the page with links to other videos. If any of you speak Spanish and learn anything new about our breed, please share with the rest of us!

Seems like the school unit is in some kind of dialect, not Latin American spanish anyway! (not that my Spanish is any good.)

That is Spanish. Some of the names are odd because names can come from other places. There would be some local place names from Spain that would be different too.

In Spain, there is mostly a pronunciation difference but written it looks the same.

I have Pita Pinta hatching eggs set to hatch on Saturday!

Is anyone on this thread preferably within a 2-3 hour radius of San Francisco interested in breeding Pita Pinta? There are so few of us breeding them here in the US that I want to help other breeders get involved with this fantastic breed. I am currently hatching chicks and will have culls from my breeding program in a few months. I also have fertile eggs available for shipment within CA.

I also have hatching eggs for them.

I have a pip in one of the Pita Pinta eggs. It is about 6 hours behind the first Del egg to pip.

I will have pita pinta chicks again soon!
