I have a friend who was having trouble hatching out eggs and/or keeping the little ones alive. He asked me if I could stick some eggs under my broody chickens. I now have 3 peachicks running around my growout pen with my other young chickens. Mama hen has been doing really well with them...
Question for you all.
I have a regular customer who came up to me today and mentioned that she got 3 eggs with blood spots in them recently. She asked me if I candle them or anything. I don't of course. Evidentally she is really grossed out by them. Whenever I get a egg with a blood spot...

I'm interested in hatching eggs for leghorns in any color besides white or brown. The chicken that is- not the eggs! Black, silver, Mille fluer, exchequer, would all be ones I'm especially interested in.
Just looking for something unusual. Preferrably a seller on the east side of the country.
I just bought 2 EE chicks last week and have been sucking up like a sponge all the info I can from you guys. There's A LOT! My house is a wreck and I'm supposed to have Easter dinner here on Sunday?! Can everyone stop writing new posts so that I can step away from the computer and get some...
