The Pita Pinta Asturiana

Wow, they are beautiful. Quite a bit more black than the females have. You still have all five roosters? Do you have fertilized eggs right now?

Old photo still had all 5. I’ll get updated picture tomorrow hopefully.

Just the one now. I kept one that was a bit lighter. I also have more hens as well.
I have a pair that hatched for the Halloween hal.

I got the fertilized eggs today, 10 of them. Put them under the broody PP, chicks on February 1 if all goes well. Wish me at least one rooster this time

Question - does a broody hen usually continue to lay eggs while she's sitting? Staggered hatch is no problem?

 

[Pensmaster]

I suppose they could. My trouble with extra eggs seemed to come from the other hens in the coop.

Mark your eggs and take out any new ones. You don’t want a staggered hatch for a broody. Do you mind me asking what the price was for your eggs?

Here’s the rooster I kept.

I did just that (marked) - When we initially put her in the greenhouse Friday, we put the 13 we found under her. When I removed the old eggs tonight, she had 16. So she has laid an egg a day, I didn't realize they did that when broody?
$97.50-
