    AUCTION: 8 eggs from fibromelanotic single comb LF *DIPSYGOTHS*

    Hi Dipsy, I realize I came late to the party and your listing is long closed, but in reading the breeds you used to make your Dipsygoths, I was curious if you kept a record of each individual breeds contribution and how long it took to get to the new fibro breed? TIA
