If you decided that you wanted to separate them and get the eggs, I would love to buy some.  I will drive to Summersville in a heartbeat.

How many eggs would you want and around what time would you want them? I can separate them long enough to get you a some eggs..

I used a squirt gun, it Got first RIR rooster to behave. We would also carry him around for 5-10 minutes after he acted up and make him behave and talk to him. I think it really helped.

Quote: I think I read somewhere that they have to be separated for 2-3 weeks before you start collecting eggs. I wasn't sure if you wanted to go to that length and gather eggs. I am also not sure on how long they are good for before you start losing hatchability. I know with chickens it is 10 days but I have only hatched fresh duck eggs. I would be interested in a dozen Blue Swede but if that is to long then maybe 6 blue swede and 6 Cayuga or at the very least 6 blue swede.

Are your blue swede crested? Mine is and I don't want to breed with another crested so i am looking for non-crested.

No they are not crested. I can get 12 blue swedish if thats what you want. It should take me 6 days to collect as long as they each lay one a day which they have been doing. I read eggs are good for 7-10 days. When would you like them? We could split it up in two "shipments" if you want to be sure of getting the number you want and better hatchability.

If you want to separate them now, I will take them as soon as you start collecting. If you want to collect them for 5 days, I will take whatever you get in that 5 days so if they lay less than 1 a day, that's ok to. Let me know when you start collecting and we will make arrangements to meet somewhere convenient for you in summersville.

Ok. I have to get nesting boxes set up in another pen so it will take me a couple days to get them separated. I'll get in touch with you in a couple weeks when I start collecting. Thanks!
