I understand that, I may buy some whites, whites will win the shows over my superior Partridges.

There is never any dispute for the judges on "is that shade right or not". It s either white or not. And that white dye old(er) women use in their hair to get it white will assure the birds are all white.

I'll be getting whites eventually. Right now I am concentrating all my efforts and space on one variety.

When I can beat your birds, then I'll branch out.

I have been raising chickens for a miniscule fraction of time. To her, I might as well have had none at all.
Conditions for biosecurity here are laughable, so recovering stock from me would bring in who knows what from my place.

Just isn't feasible, I'm afraid.

It is just a few eggs. ....it is a pity .

My birds can be beaten now, I prefer to coat them flash fry them and then oven bake them.

Love it!!
unfortunately i dont have any fertile eggs for my girls, one of them i thought was a goner but when rearranging my barn yesterday found her under a saddle sitting on 8 eggs, candled them HUGE aircells zero development
tossed them all and dunked her in the water trough
so far so good on her

i also have to deal with one of her babies from last fall that is trying to be broody, she bites though, dunked her last night right before bed, may have to do it a couple more times, or add some ice to the water

I funk mine in water cause I like to torture them and nothing like a good funk in water to torture a chicken!
