“Having been told by Experts that my Padovana aka Padua Gold Lace Hens Cleo and Chloe were of a non setting breed: I was surprised to see Cleo doing just that.”
Padovana White Cockeral Shinnecock, Gold Lace Hens Cleo and Chloe first born chicks. At the time of Sandrow’s collaboration with Shinnecock Nation and area preservationists to save the historic estate Gissa Bu from being torn down, the land developed into a subdivision.
A Hen lays an Egg after light-sensitive cells behind her eyes message her ovary to release an ovum into the egg yolk. Fertilized by sperm, coated by albumen, encased in shell as the egg travels through the oviduct. This creative process encompasses twenty-four hours; as the rotation of Earth on its axis.
