    Confused???

    I will get pics today, don't get me wrong white eggs are not the problem, the reason I bought older chicks was for EGGS. I would never cull just for the egg color , I just find it very weird.

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    I have kept up with this thread for a year or so, I find it fascinating! I don't have the ability to have these but it is certainly fascinating. I was wondering does Jubaby still have the originals or is she all out of it?
