Final Lester lavender orp project 12+ eggs - BYC auction ENDED

[hinkjc]

My goodness, you all were busy here last night. lol I don't want this to keep going off topic, so I will say Lester is not for sale. As with all breeding programs, culls must occur for many reasons. Lester will stay here until the girls are rehomed early next week. While Lester has visual appeal, he lacks the good nature of an Orpington. In my effort to breed towards standard, I select for personality as part of my requirement - I always have with my Orps, as that is an important factor of the breed. Many of his sons and grandsons have taken on the mother's nice personalities and I have selected for that, as well as body conformation and color. There are some amazing offspring to continue our work and we plan to breed black orps in again to diversify the genetic makeup of our lavender line. Please keep in mind the lavenders are not going away, the work just continues towards perfecting them.

Current high bid is mouton with $135.

I am increasing the egg count to 12+ for this auction (based on current egg laying, which I expect to continue). Have fun bidding!

Taking it to the limit one more time. I better make sure that incubator is working ok, that would be a fine pickel to end up in.

WOW!!! You are serious aren't you. No one said it was going to be easy. I sure would like to jump in and give my two cents worth, quess I'd better go check out how much damage, I am capable of doing to myself.

I honestly laughed out loud...

Ah, I wish I didn't stink so bad at incubating eggs!

I'm still practicing (feel sorry for the poor chickies!) I'd love some, but my luck, I would manage to hatch out a single Rooster...

Any chance there will be "next generation" project eggs coming later this year?
