Oh, yes, James, bring plenty of cash, LOL. I'm thinking, allowing for hatching difficulties with a couple, that you'll have at least 25 Delaware babies out of this bunch. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

Do you need a loan?

I might! What kind of interest rates do you have?

I can see it now.Going to the bank for a loan.The loan officer ask sir what is the loan for? I state Dellies and he says so you are going to be selling sandwiches. Then I say no sir I mean Dellie chickens.About that time he calls the security guard and escorts me out!

OK James, this may be a bit premature but...would you be able to ship any of your culled pullets out to California by any chance?

James,
If 25 is too many, just send them to me! I will gladly pay for them, the postage, and your trouble!

Cyn, You are going to have to figure out how to ship day olds....

... but I guess you are too far away from a major airport... shucks....

 

[speckledhen]

I just can't put babies in a box and hand them to the P.O. <<<shudder>>>

Hey Cynthia - I have not been around for a while. I see you are still sucking in innocent victims with your adorable babies.

Quick update on my SpeckledHen Babies.
I have 1 Gorgeous Blue Orp (Suede Jr.) and 1 Splash Orrington Hen
I have Meg's baby Hen (Meg Jr.) - She is beautiful.
I have a Gorgeous Pair of Barred Rocks (She is laying every day and I hope to put her eggs in the bator for a Thanksgiving Day Hatch)
I have 1 Barred Easter Egger who lays a nice big egg on a very regular basis.

I shared a couple of Hens with a friend and the extra roosters, well, they were good.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I have a question for you. If I hatch my Barred Easter Egger Hen's eggs and the Daddy is the Barred Rock Rooster. I assume the chicks will definitely be barred, will they lay green or brown eggs or is it 50/50

Thanks!!


P.S. SpeckledHen ROCKS!!!!
