    I'd love to try hatching, but because i can't afford a real incubator i'm afraid i'd screw up and hatch deformed chicks and have to kill them. I'd rather wait until i have something with a high chance of success. Or maybe buy some Silkie hens to hatch them? I have to look into that some more...

    I bought white jersey giants( as well as black and splash) this past May from Sand Hill Preservation Center. The whites seem hard to keep alive when young compared to the others for some strange reason. We lost 2 in shipping, and one seemingly healthy white rooster just fell over dead one day...
