They kinda remind me of beanie babies 🤣 My grandma used to swear that my son could go to college on her collection. I ended up giving them to a church doing mission work in Mexico because I couldn’t sell them 😖
I’ve had the WORST luck hatching their eggs, but I think I narrowed down my issue. The eggs I have hatched have produced healthy chicks, and these have been the broodiest of all my hens combined, which I read was not a trait of the breed.
I actually did/do have a couple hens with a floppier comb. And I know that our local market has most likely been saturated with the same lines I have. I actually just acquired a new line from across the country, but we traded as kind of an experiment to see how shipping eggs and hatching shipped...
Well, I hate to say this out loud so as to not jinx myself, but I haven’t lost one chick that I’ve hatched or that a broody has hatched up to this point. The breeder I got my flock from had two different lines and was not opposed to culling at all.
I obtained my flock by chance, not by choice...
I’ve actually been quite pleased with my flock, I have found them to be the sweetest of all my chickens. But extremely broody, that’s my bugaboo. I haven’t eaten one, so the the meat color hasn’t been an issue.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Would you happen to know the likelihood of an offspring of two Ayam Cemani parents with no visible leakage to show leakage? (One pink toenail)
Thank you.
