Picture Story 1 : Tolbunts

My Tolbunt Polish finally hatched!! They actually hatched a week ago, but anyway. . . Here's a little picture story of how it went. I only got 2 chicks out of 4 eggs left.

First, the Easter Eggers come out (Polish x Easter Egger)



Next, the first Polish







Then the last Tolbunt Polish:



And then, the two all dried up:








Right now they already have tail and wing feathers, and are working on shoulder feathers. One is a female and frizzle. The other is male and smooth feathered.

More on the farm to come later when my batteries recharge.

    A Tolbunt Polish is a color of Polish - Specifically, it is gold laced with mottling. It sort of looks like Millie Fluer.

    I don't know how it originally began, honestly. The color Tolbunt began in Europe, and we imported it to the US just several years ago. From there, we keep the mottling from the original stock.
