    Quote: we could if we had an incubator. the brahma eggs would be crossed with prod red. I doubt the jap egg is fertile from what I've read. I'm sure when caitlin gets her sq japs and rir we will get an incubator and get busy.

    We are getting eggs! We've been getting eggs from the reds for awhile now. This weekend the brahma's started laying and today we got our first japanese egg (very very tiny). Now what will we ever do with them all!

    Quote: thanks jen! I did not know the japanese national will be in shawnee this year! Sooo exciting. I would like to get at least a pair for caitlin to show now until then. We met a guy at our county spring livestock show a few weeks back who said he might be able to help us, but haven't...

    My daughter loves the japanese breed. She has some btw from a hatchery so they are too long legged for show but good color on her roo. I'm looking to get her a good sq trio, but that might be nearly impossible in OK without shipping from somewhere else. oh well, she really loves them and...

    Quote: I think a poultry club is needed here. I've thought about trying to start or revive one, maybe combine it with rabbits. Don't really know, but I do know I'd need someone more knowledgeable in poultry than me to work with. I know right now caitlin is exhausted and still ecstatic! Tanya
