    I still wonder if Lavender/Isabellas fowl are genetically weaker as I mentioned before. You breed 2 blue parakeets, lovebirds etc. together and half the birds are too weak to make it out of the egg. You breed blue with another color and not as many offspring turn out blue but they are much...

    Sad indeed, Where are you getting your eggs from? How many birds do you want? I have an Orpington that went broody 3 days ago perhaps I should try some eggs under her.

    Disappointing, Well, we'll see. So the parent birds are your own??? Porous shells etc. Personally I don't like feeding laying feed. I offer oyster shell separately and the hens regulate their own intake. The roosters aren't receiving unneeded and harmful overdose of calcium. I don't know much...

    Definitely a cockerel and probably a pullet maybe 2 depending on how well you do. What do you ask for chicks? Thanks

    Thank you, Guess I just leave a message on here? Assuming you have a reasonable hatch what will you be asking for the chicks? Thanks Again, Lee

    Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for a companion for a single Lav. Orp. chick that I have. But yes I would be interested. When are they do to hatch? Will you call? Should I give you an email. Sorry not terribly computer literate. Thanks, Lee
