Hi

There is a big shortage of roosters this year in Marans so would think there is a shortage across the board due to the harsh winter. If you have some spare nice ones it might be an idea to let other people know.

Hey guys quick question. I saw a BCM chick with slate legs and pink toes. Is that something that they would grow out of or is it a defect?

What are BHBs? (pardon my ignorance)

I'd like to find a super BCM to replace my spriggy boy

If you have one, please PM me price and I will try and set up day to get up there soon!

Wish I was in your area . . . Aren't the BHB low riders ? ?

I got a TON of BCM roosters. I am trying to set the record for most cockerels hatched in one year.

I am averaging 90% cockerels per hatch. . . .

NOW BEV, it just isn't fair to throw in the qualifier that they must be "NICE" ones too. . . .

I am sure one of the hundred I hatch this year will have to be "NICE". . . .

BHB = Bay Horse Bonnie? Those have beautiful eggs

Too bad I'm not closer or maybe it's a good thing

A rooster shortage????? Come to think of it.....I did hatch out more pullets in the last year than I have males, but I still got more than my fair share of cockerels, trust me.
