I'm Thinking Of Eventually Starting A Breeding Project And Would Like To Know Yalls Opinions On Body

I'm thinking of eventually starting a breeding project and would like to know yalls opinions on body type. Most probably wouldn't even notice much difference.

First off, cubalaya are much heavier/sturdier in body whereas the marans classic dual-purpose body type can fool you as to how much meat they actually have on them. Cubalayas are technically a dual purpose breed but most keep them for show. It's one of the rare breeds and most online breeders only keep the bantam varieties.

Personally I prefer the small comb and almost nonexistent wattles of the cubalayas along with the hens flat back in line with almost level tail.

What I'm looking for in my breeding project is

Color - white pattern red wheaten (finished breed)

Egg color - Speckled brown (not required)

Temperament - Flighty to escape predators

Foraging - excellent foragers

Egg/meat production - at least 3 eggs a week on the low end (most produce at least 4 a week) & good feed to meat ratio.

Teriyaki is currently broody and has about 7 eggs under her. Hopefully, she'll commit to caring for them as they're well-developed now. I just wish she didn't choose now to get Broody since I already have 6 new chicks plus the four adults including her.

reblog and put in the tags your pet’s name, and the most ridiculous nickname you call them.

Made this simple recipe I found today. Ham and egg breakfast bowls.

Ingredients

Eggs - one for each muffin mold.

A bit of melted butter

Circle slice ham or turkey

Veggies of your choice

Cheese of your choice

Salt & pepper or other seasonings

------------

Instructions

With melted butter grease muffin tin and place deli meat inside to make a bowl shape.

Add a pinch of cheese on ham, then add an egg to each bowl.

Next add veggies more cheese and seasonings.

Preheat oven to 400°F or aprox 204°C.

Once heated, place tin in oven and cook for 15 min, occasionally checking to make sure the egg isn't overcooked or the cheese burned. It's alright if the ham looks a little extra crispy 😉.

Once cooked, remove, cool, and enjoy!
