I have a buff orphington who wants to be a mama!! I found her today, of all days on easter!
I have plenty of eggs from various common layers to hatch, but I'd like to add more color to my flock.
If anyone would like to send me and exotic or bantam eggs to hatch, PM at...
Can anybody show some pistures of phoenix rooster from ideal, i may very well be oredering one form them, id just like ti see what i can expect as far as quality.
If it were me, I would use the broody cochin. Though incubators are very reliable and efficient, the cochin will turn the eggs automatically, and teach them to eat and drink, or you may have to do it.
Cochins are very reliable brooders, and wonderful mothers.
