That's awesome news Tru! I was hoping you hadn't given up on them, having not heard from you in a while... Don't forget to post pics!

Nope, haven't given up on the Basques. Just have about a million things going on right now and with swaps gearing up, it's just nuts. Weather has been too wild. We've had lots of repairs to make and replace a heating system too. Head is still spinning.

Finally jumped on the Marraduna Basque band wagon. Picked up a lovely batch of a half dozen eggs from a really nice women name Jill. I'm hoping all eggs will hatch
Due to hatch April 8th!

I've been saving my Basque eggs for hatching this week, hoping to set next Saturday. I only have 2 hens, so I'll throw some other breeds in the incubator as well.

One of my Basque hens lays fairly large eggs, while the other lays a medium size. I still haven't figured out which hen is laying the bigger egg, but I plan to hatch some of each, since that is all I have to work with for now.

Does anyone have hatching eggs with good luck shipping to Texas?

If the eggs are shipped using the Skyline Method, they can come from anywhere in the Continental US and do well.

It is absolutely crazy to me that there is no interest in my area in the EOs. I have people from other parts of the country that contact me to get eggs and chicks, yet I cannot even sell my extra chicks or juvie pairs locally. Zero interest!

I have hatching eggs available, NPIP-AI clean and I use the "Meeks Method" of open ended bubble wrap shipping. You can send a PM if you are interested. Website is listed below signature for pictures/more info.

Very few folks have ever heard of EOs... unless they were searching for birds with these attributes, how would they ever come across them?

I do understand that, but even with my extolling their virtues there is no interest.
