Has Anyone got any chickens from http://cemani.co.uk/ourstock.html#FertileHatchingEggs if so pm me or if you have them forsale plz pm me prices.

Since they are in the UK, it's unlikely anyone has any from that particular breeder here.
They'd have to be imported here and if a new line had been imported I'm sure we would've heard about it

I have never heard of those before, would be neat. But if the standard size is rare, it'd be tough to find bantams.

I'm not hatching my own at the moment, but I do have three chicks arriving from Greenfire next Tuesday. I'm hoping one or two are cockerels.

I just separated my cemanis from the rest of my flock today. In a couple weeks I'll increase their daylight hours and then do a test hatch. They basically had the winter off.

Speaking of winter, even tho I had been putting Vaseline on my roosters comb, I noticed today that he's got some frostbite there. He might just have too big of a comb for NY winters. Poor guy, tho it doesn't seem slow him down.

Birdman, do u do anything extra to get ur birds thru the Michigan winters? It must get very cold there.

It seems that many people were originally interested as they thought there was big money to be made. That was inevitable. Now that there are several "good/true" breeders around with a good name and producing quality birds, those in it for fast profits have given up but not without having caused much damage with scams and selling mixed breed birds as true ACfor a lot of $$.

I think it will be better now though I still see ads for "AC" chicks for $100 and eggs for $25 each and you know they are still preying on those who have not done their homework.

Well, I sell my eggs for $25 each and I'm not scamming anyone...but yes, there are still scammers out there. For example bobfarm on eBay was still at it last I checked even though the boom has died down some.
