This pic is a prime example of what is being shipped spring of 2019. My shipping cost has increased again so shipping is $20. I've not checked fertility this year yet, but have even more rosters per hen than last year so should be fabulous, although shipping could put a damper on hatchability.
They're available @ $30+$20 shipping. Eggs shipped will all be speckled but rather than give color choice I'll be shipping half blue/green base colored eggs and half brown base color. I multiplied the silver/gold plumage colored birds last year so there will now be that plumage color in the...
I can be offering these eggs again but need to edit the listing first. Can anyone tell me how to do that? BYC is super not user friendly. Facebook and Ebay are so much faster. BTW, I do have them listed on Ebay if interested.
He's bred down from heritage Welsummers, show type Welsummers and Ameraucanas. He's basically Welsummer color pattern plus the blue color trait from Ameraucana.
Offering hatching eggs from my Blue Light Brown Leghorns for $30 plus $18 shipping per dozen. I've developed this flock of Blue Light Brown Leghorns in the last 6 years from an out cross with Blue Andalusian to my Light Brown Leghorns. They are now breeding true to Leghorn type, however, due to...
I wasn't aware of that. I don't follow hatchery activity. Just saw folks questioning what they were and mentioning that Hoover claimed to not know, so gave a likely possibility. They could very well be a small goldmine considering how many folks want them.
They know very well what they have. Just acting as though they don't so others don't produce them. Preserving their "little goldmine". I'm guessing the staff at Hoover hasn't been told so the secret don't get out of the box.
I have speckled brown, lavender, pink, green, etc. hatching eggs available. Most of the speckles are brown but some are lavender and occasionally blue. This flock has been selectively bred from crosses of Americana, Heritage Welsummer and modern Welsummers. None of my breeders have beards...
Hoover hatchery appears to be doing diligence to preserve their little goldmine chicken hybrid. The Sapphire Gem is likely just a cross between homozygous Blue Andalusian roosters and barred rock hens. Such a cross would produce F1 offspring that lay brown eggs (because the brown egg color...
An update with pictures would be fantastic. I'm very interested in genetic experiments of this nature and am wanting to produce silver pied (patchy) geese. Any advice would be appreciated.
BTW, Cal Grey's are everything ya all have said about them and more, my two are now five years old and have begun to lay dinosaur eggs. Their eggs are all wrinkly and bumpy but they keep on laying an egg ever three to four days during nice weather.
Oops, my bad. I've recently learned that leghorns (only,?) have a dominant white egg gene, so your project could get very confusing if the cal. grey has rec. white egg gene and the leghorn has dom. white egg gene. I learned this after I mated a buff leghorn to a Welsumer last fall, from which...
Ideal usually does a good job with shipping and many of their breeds are of good quality, but Ideal Cornish X broilers do not grow as fast as Whelp Hatcherys CX birds. We have a feed store that sells the Ideal birds and a farm supply store selling the Whelp birds, so I've known many people who...
