White large fowl hens

<< < (9/9)

DeWayne Edgin:
She started laying seven days ago, and i got six eggs from her! I  am incubating them today.The person that i got her from said she was a grand champion hen at a show in California. She is a big hen also and i hope to get lots of chicks from her. I can't remember her exact weight but, i think she was around 9 pounds!!

Mike Gilbert:
If she is actually 9 lbs, she should be disqualified in a show as she is outside the 20% leeway they give for size - if the judges do their job properly, and that is a big if.   The limit before a D.Q. for an Ameraucana hen is 6.6 pounds.     Nevertheless she should make a good breeder, but I would use a smaller rooster. 

DeWayne Edgin:
Yea i was just thinking about this and i think the weight was a total of the box she was shipped in and all of its contents to. Sorry about that. I sent you a picture of her standing beside one of my roosters so you can see how she looks beside him.
