I would have eggs to sell, but my roo's slacking on the job and all my eggs have been clear since christmas. i keep threatenning him but he's ignoring me since he knows that none of the other roos will be ready to do anything for 3 or 4 more months probably.
I've got 2 people waiting on eggs now, and i've been incubating EVERY egg i get but so far they just end up hard boiled for the dogs.
if memory serves, Ideal is a drop shipper, which means they may actually be dealing with mmcm chicks... I've got some mmcm silver greys and they're not bad, but i haven't got much to compare to, since i've only got the one trio (roo and 2 hens), 1 unrelated (mmcm lines tho) pullet, and 12 assorted chicks from the trio.Anybody have Silver Dorkings from Ideal Hatchery? I'm thinking about getting on the wait list to order some, unless I can find somebody with hatching eggs to place under a broody.
Would they be at least as good as Mcmurray's? For some reason I prefer working with Ideal, but not enough to get lesser quality chicks, if the Dorkings are better from Mcmurray's.
also, I'd be interested in buying a dozen eggs and would prefer colored or red, if possible. I seem to be having quite a few broodies all winter so it's probably pretty safe for me to take the chance on buying some hatching eggs pretty soon, despite not having an incubator. Thanks!
