Hey All,

 

I'm in Hayward!!

 

I was just wondering if anyone has any fertile eggs (maybe like 2~3) that I can have/buy so I can satisfy my broody hen?

 

Please forward the message, I'm willing to drive, but not too far and I'm available on the weekends.  Preferably eggs that are 1week fertile since that's how long my hen's been broody.

Once you spend 100 bucks on   rare heritage breed eggs you want those suckers to have every chance.  ( or at least I do, I'm cheap, lol)   we are in San Jose and have silkie, showgirl( well usually I have those  6/6 hens are broodie or have babies atm my poor roosters are soo sad!), olive egger and FCBM eggs, but I don't see those on your list. But if you are in the area and want to practice, give me a holler.

 

and Welcome to BYC!! And IA!

Also, i saw rare marans somewhere  in the greater norther California area  when I did a search a month or so ago, cant for the life of me remember where, but close enough I thought I could schlep out there and maybe grab a few birchens.

Hi guys..
 

I was just at my local feed and grain store, El Granero in San Pablo.  In case anyone is looking for babies, they had a bunch of new chicks, including Dominique, Leghorn, Naked necks and something else I cannot rememeber!  They also had guinea fowl chicks.

They haven't told me yet. I'll try to find out this week. It will be the same schedule as last year, but these things kind of run together for me these days so I don't remember.
