Well the posting in the Chickenstocks forum has only had like 30 views and I have not had 1 PM for birds-eggs to be submitted for this swap so it looks like just us few here love Peas?

I am looking for some black shoulder fertile eggs and found this thread. I don't know that I can swap right now I only have mixed flock of bantams with access to mixed turkeys and large fowl. I am actually incubating some turkey eggs for a friend and wanted to put some pea eggs in at the same time. I have always wanted a peacock and now that I have my own home I am ready for one. I wanted to raise a pair from chicks so they will be friendly. Anyway long-winded way to ask if there is anyone local that would have fertile eggs? I'm willing to drive a bit or can ship but I don't want to get a huge amount of money wrapped up in eggs because of the hatching risk. I'm thinking I should start with 4-6 eggs to have a chance of at least a male surving. Any advice would be welcomed.I'm in northeast Indiana.

Hello BernerBabe, and

(or at least the part where we endlessly discuss Peas).
Are you in Berne, IN?
If so, you're probably within driving of frenchblackcopper?

 

[BernerBabe]

Yeah im on the indiana/Ohio line. I'm not sure where FBC is but the Il line is 3+hrs from me. Probably easier to ship, huh.

Frenchblackcopper is in Milford Illinois, I am in Valparaiso. I may have some eggs available later but as of now my birds are not laying. You can also try Louden farms. They are in Ohio.

 

[BernerBabe]

Thanks, I'm gonna wait until after the turkeys are done with the incubator I think. I'll get back in touch in a month

I'm so interested but all I have right now is chicken eggs and guinea eggs... Would love to get some IB eggs... Joe also interested in royal palm eggs

 

[Arkansas81]

Howdy Y'all!!
I have nearly everything in the backyard...turkeys, quail, ducks, geese, chickens...everything EXCEPT my layer flock is pure...I WOULD just bout eat an ear of a kangaroo for some peas

...i've been watching the swap thread BUT no action...if you want something of mine-take a gander at my swap page and let me know...

Now do I need to go wander on over to the swap thread and pitch my selling? I don't see anyone else making an offer, should I just make my offer and someone claims mine...then IF someone offers up some pea eggs I can snatch em? Never been the first one to offer up a swap first...

Thanks Fellas!!!

There was plenty of interest here but we are a fairly small group.The thread had to be moved to the other section but just not much interest there either.
