[Lesalynn]

Well, my Silkies are not laying yet (too young yet), and my Seramas have not been separated. So.....anyone out there wanna sell me a few pure bantam eggs so I can join? On a budget right now ( my 4 girls all have b-days this month

), but am willing to pay a fair price for the good stuff!! I can't wait til my Silkies are laying y'all, then it's on! They are turning out so beautifully!!!
