Ba-dum-ching, Argy. I'm sitting here at the computer next to a box of 4-day-old Barnevelder chicks. I like to hand-raise our birds whenever possible, as they end up being friendlier. Plus it's safer for them.
Gorgeous gallus... I mean gals.
Hi Clive, I am not sure what your question is. The yolks in our eggs are almost always perfect. It is only when a hen has started sitting them and the chick has started to develop that I find the yolks to be broken down a bit. I usually feed those eggs to the dogs.
hi lori
in Indonesia we call them ayam bekisar
nice picts.
I thought I'd post the muscovy ducks separately. I'm letting two sit right now, so we should have ducklings in about a month.
Thanks Lori, they are truly beautiful! I will save them and send them to my Son-in-law! Do I see a duck also? It is quite clear why you have a good variety of eggs.!
