Yes it's very annoying! That's one of the reasons I didn't order. If I'm not sure the quality of them I'd rather wait and see if the birds are the same quality.. Or wait and try to get eggs/chicks from someone like Tre3hugger.
I'm just sticking with what I already have to experiment with for now.
Very interesting thread. I'll be following. I started this spring and have a bunch of cockerels to put in the freezer still :oops:
Really good to see some of the NH from Henry noll line. I'm very tempted to get some next spring.
