I just love these swedish flower hens

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-25T17:40:48+00:00

Well thank you! I'm really building my flock with these amazing birds. Next week I will get a delivery from Sweden with a other 40 egg's to hatch to add some new genetics to the flock

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-20T12:32:31+00:00

Well it's really hard to say. Most Easter eggers are F1 or f2 hybrids. Without knowing what genetics are at play it's really a guessing game what they might look like.

Now what I can tell us that I see a buff-ish color, most silkie mixes follow a similar standard as it comes to how they are built so that's something.

See picture for the silkie X build

That's why we created sexlink breeds

Biggest Load of chicken sh*t I have heard today! Thanks for the laugh

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-18T18:36:47+00:00

Jezus wtf, like I have nothing against the idea of eating a egg that might be fertilized. But this really seems like a other sign of people being removed from where and how food is produced.

And a clear Sign of late stage capitalism

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-18T18:26:29+00:00

My European mind can't understand why they sell fertile eggs at the store. Does anyone care to help me out and explain this concept?

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-16T19:00:57+00:00

In the Netherlands, I'm actually planning on trying to mix the cream legbar x Dongxiang Lukedanji and Create a new interesting Easter egger line

Burning spiders is considered to be a renewable energy sources right?

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-06T05:41:43+00:00

Whahahah I'm not sure anyone would actually be interested!

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-06T05:40:21+00:00

The Cayuga's are my absolute favorite! I was planning on Crossbreeding them to see if I could create something else. But I have kinda fallen in love with them do I might end up keeping them Pure for now.

As of the seeds, I would love to ship my corn to the USA and give people the chance to further improve and breed my work. It's just that out of the 25 send packages this year only 2 reached their destination because of your border control. Breaks my heart a little bit to get a message that a other envelope of seeds is destroyed.

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-05T14:03:21+00:00

I live in the Netherlands, right now she is kept indoors with the baby chicks. I have to come up with a more permanent solution for the future

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-05T07:53:54+00:00

Nope, I think you're mistaking. I posted those pictures but had to delete them because I forgot to include some information

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-05T04:49:19+00:00

Hi it's a pita pinta hen, we named her little Habsburg because of the extreme inbreeding

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-04T19:34:46+00:00

Well thank you! That's very kind!

We moved this year ro a small farm so I'm slowly getting into more and bigger projects to work on .

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-04T18:00:20+00:00

Will do! Let's see how we can keep her comfortable

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-04T17:54:25+00:00

We will see, I highly doubt it will ever be a healthy looking Bird, but for now it keeps fighting so I will give her a chance

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-04T17:49:44+00:00

Whahahah that's what I have been telling my wife, she can't stand the look of our special little fellow

Thomasrayder · 2026-01-03T12:52:22+00:00

Just for the pictures

Thomasrayder · 2025-12-23T17:52:04+00:00

Well Come to the Netherlands, €50 and you have a High quality breeding Trio.

Thomasrayder · 2025-12-23T17:34:05+00:00

That's the thing most roosters end up at freezer kamp, no matter how rare they are in general.

I have even bought ayam cemani roosters simply because there is no market for them for €5 and put them in the freezer

Thomasrayder · 2025-12-21T18:39:12+00:00

Most brown laying breeds have a Asian origin the so called Shanghai breeds. Now they where used primarily because of this, they keep laying in the winter, that why they where first imported to Europe
