I'd do it 15.00 a dozen.. for your eggs...im getting ready to set some copper marans soon..
Hatched about 400 chicks this last year.. I'm by eloika lake area off hwy 2
personally I'd breed what ya have. . Which is 2 roosters 2 hens.. get a flock going.. then look for new genetics next year..
Lavender bred with lavender gets more lavender... so if you're looking for more genetics get another lavender from another source. . Why look for black? I guess I...
Wouldn't getting another lavender off Craigslist give you all the new genetics your after? Why are you searching for a black orpington? Or now looking to out cross to another breed?
