Interesting comment. Could be I suppose. Folks, I NEVER said this was a good example of the breed. Sheesh.

Thank you. I am the second most interesting man in the world and I don't always post on BYC, but when I do, it's sure to be entertaining. Ouch, I just hurt my shoulder.

So the one BCM hen I kept, she's a broody mama on broody duty right now, which is why I kept her. The last four I had (including this one I kept) were the darkest of the dark layers, so some day kinda soon I'm going to want to hit somebody up (Geebsie) for some rooster eggs. Just rooster eggs though. I'll want like 3 roosters, so a dozen rooster eggs shipped ought to be just about right.

ha ha.. got some rooster eggs for ya... you want all roosters or a few hen eggs too.

Rooster eggs? Plenty of us on here you can get those from! I think I've seen you lurking behind that good-looking older gent in commercials...you know...."the most interesting man on the planet"....

Marans make good broodies in my experience! Whatcha got under her??

 

[geebs]

I thought you didn't sell or ship hatching eggs?

Yeah I have the OEs but my rooster is in asylum elsewhere. I just got to a place where I can have him, but I'm not set up. In the meantime, I just raised some 3rd, or is it 4th, I dunno, generation OEs but I had to give the cockerels away because I couldn't get ready quickly enough. But the pullets are awesome, I could *almost* say that they're breeding true, but I don't want to say that quite yet. Then phase II can begin.

I also have the Cuckoos and I'll need some Cuckoo rooster eggs for them as well.

Hey, they say everyone has their tipping point... I'd say a chance to unload all her rooster eggs on one person, SOLD!

 

[geebs]

Can't help ya there.. all I have is one good Gherke/Davis hen... no boys.. (in cuckoo)
