A Few of Our Birds...

Love the Hmong. I too got some eggs from BC but unfortunately now have 6 cockerels and only 1 pullet. I'll rotate the boys when it's time to expand the gene pool. They are surprisingly tame to work with.

Re: A Few of Our Birds...
@LongCrow that definitely sucks, I have 1 adult rooster and 4 pullets almost ready to lay and 8 recently hatched chicks.
They are definitely fun birds to work with.

Re: A Few of Our Birds...
Some of the Mosaic Chicken crew from Gold Feather Farms. I will be working on improving blue skin colour and turquoise blue ear colour.
Light coloured Cuckoo Malines rooster. I am using him to try and improve the auto-sexing in the cuckoo malines chicks, males light colour and females dark. And another one of my new projects..... Bresse Chickens
I recently purchased a trio of young Bresse Chickens that came from Gold Feather Farms and I also have a couple dozen eggs in the incubator due to hatch in a few days.
Bresse Pullet The Bresse Chicken is a prized meat breed of chicken in France said to be the best tasting chicken with fat marbling in the meat. Though reading up on the breed the flavour and fat marbling I think mainly comes from how they are raised in France. Basically free ranged and then finished off in cages and feed grains soaked in milk for a few weeks before slaughter.
If I have any extra Bresse chickens this year that I am not keeping for breeding my plan is once they are out of the brooder I will raise them in a mobile chicken tractor so they can eat grass and bugs. And then for the last 3 weeks before slaughter I will feed them non-gmo grains soaked in milk to finish them before processing. I am planning on using goat's milk. Anyone have any goat's milk?
