Wishing you great luck, I thought about doing store eggs also but no one up here sells fertile eggs. I got strange looks when I asked about them.

If you can get to the farmer's market in Crescent City (and Whole Foods in some other places) the Alexandre Kids sell fertile eggs. Their flock is mixed--BAs, NHs, and RIRs. http://www.ecodairyfarms.com/Eggs.html

Didn't you have issues with your landlord anyway? Maybe it is a good thing. However, moving is stressful. I just finished and am more than glad to be done.

I am sorry to hear about your husband. What industry is he in?

I don't have any Silkies but good luck in your search. Do you have another smaller hen you could keep with her? Maybe not a Silkie but a buddy from the flock?

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I really appreciate the send off

We did have trouble with our landlord, good memory! I will surely be glad to be rid of him. My husband does effects for video games. And we have other hens, but her bff is our silkie roo, and she doesn't seem particularly keen on anyone else. We have a Japanese Bantam that is small, but pretty wild so I think she would be unhappy more confined, as Anouk will be.

Thanks for the info. At our farmers market the eggs are not usually fertile, I don't understand why they don't run roosters with their flocks. I have BLRW, Basque and BBS Orp bantams I could load up, no room now.

I just actually looked at their site, and they have eggs at Gooseberries in Grants Pass

What about a rooster collar for your roo? depending on how close to others you are, that might make it easy to keep them together.

They may have added them recently but they didn't carry them when I was looking for them.

Deerling,
Sorry to hear you are moving, it's always hard. It is nice that you aren't forced to get rid of your birds. No silkies here, good luck in your search.
