But yours are BIG! I can send some in a week or so

Thanks Jeremy! Maybe we can swap for some of those Hugh Jass Orp eggs?

I would love to get some blue/wheaton eggs to hatch. I live in VA and try to get eggs close by. So they aren't in shipping very long. Does anybody now of a breeder in VA, NC, MD or WV? Thanks!
I'm hatching for the first time right now, and I am realizing how addictive it is! I don't know how I'll ever stop.

HappyMt,
I wish all the eggs were nice blue but they are not that is why culling is always needed. I am getting some nice blues, but also getting blue/green, blue/grey and blue/green-gray, and some greens of course which they get culled as soon as I can identify the green egg layer.
Good luck HappyMt and hope they are all hatch for you.

The eggs are a little on the small side- but they are shiny. I love that. Fertility has been excellent. Adding some new blood in a couple weeks (fingers crossed) from Crystalcreek, and then if my blacks ever start laying.... They are totally different than the eggs they hatched from- so you are making some serious progress! Thanks so much!

There is an auction right now in the hatching eggs section- they're in MD. These ones won't be cheap though. And Bishopschickens is taking pre-orders, they are in one of the Carolinas. Or is that Greenfamilyfarms? I always get them confused!

Tempting HappyMtn, very tempting... we should PM further about this.

That's what I am going to start calling my blue cockerel, Hugh Jass!

I haven't been able to figure out a name for him, until now.

Oh god!

It's not only appropriate- it's English!
