Thanks!The fowl are looking great, very pretty and congrats on the eggs!
Theses two are just a little smaller then large chicken eggs. Some of the first eggs they laid were half this size.Very cool!
How big are the eggs?
Yes! They actually taste like a better quality chicken egg. My kids love them.Can you eat the eggs? And use them instead of chicken eggs?
I’m surprised they are so hardy. They are originally from Africa and their normal habitat would be savannas or semideserts.Very cool creature! I thought they were tropical. Apparently they can handle cold weather.
You could always put them in the oven, especially this time of year. That should be very cosy for them!I’m surprised they are so hardy. They are originally from Africa and their normal habitat would be savannas or semideserts.
Perhaps they have just been able to adjust over many generations being bred here in the colder regions?
We did build them a shelter inside the grain bin/coop. It’s inclosed with a cutout door for them to get in and out. Inside is a heat lamp. At night you’ll see them all huddled up inside together.
I’m not sure they would do very well without some sort of heat.
Haha, naw. I’m too fond of these guys.You could always put them in the oven, especially this time of year. That should be very cosy for them!
