I got a question for anyone who knows from experience. Are the buff Orpington chickens from murry McMurtry hatchery in Iowa just as good as any or can you tell by looking that they are hatchery birds. I don't hve a problem with typical hatchery birds I have some barred rocks from a hatchery but...
I was thinking of pumping up my Welsummer flock
What would one get whe crossing Welsummer to a partridge rock
I think the cross would produce a larger chicken than pure Welsummer and they both are similar in appearance
Welsummer being the better looking bird
What do you all think
Rooster hen...
Ok let me know when they start laying I would take two dozen if you can get that many
Of course the weather is a little cold right now we just got 5 inches of snow
Is your eggs pretty dark in color
Sent you a pm but don't think it went through
Would like 3 dozen RIR hatching eggs
If you would like to pm me I will give you my number and maybe we could talk chicken
I am not real good at this computer thing
