Chickabee Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Oo I think it looks weird, like darth vader Edited September 4, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Gorgeous. And how the heck can they keep his mouth open long enough for a photo? Trying to get antibiotics down my marans throat was akin to wrestling with Hulk Hogan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 People are jumping on the bandwagon. Many breeders of these will sell eggs or birds at reasonable prices if they think the buyer wont cash in on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That is one impressive chicken! What colour eggs do they lay? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That is one impressive chicken! What colour eggs do they lay? Just curious. I'm hoping they lay pure white eggs, for balance and for aesthetic contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 ...but black eggs it seems, from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I don't like it. I do like the eggs though - they look like they belong in a lifestyle magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I do like the eggs though - they look like they belong in a lifestyle magazine Ah, the eggs might not be black - I suspect that site I linked to may be faking them (the eggs not the hens). According to wiki the eggs should be white, with a hint of pink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieDust Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Black eggs too? Fabulous! Being an old Goth, I think it's brilliant. I am hoping my Withy Black chook will be as black as possible lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Weird, weird, weird. Every bit as bad as designer dogs. Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Have you seen Munchkin cats? Dreadful! But amazing what you can do with black food dye. Or is it nail varnish - good sheen on those eggs. Um, didn't spot the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 That is scary - especially for someone with a black animal phobia. I really didn't like seeing the plucked ones. Can think of better things to spend my money on ... did I see correctly that they cost £1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
