Thanks! I started with chicks. Raised them, wean out those that didn't conform to type, hatched more, weaned out more, hatched more, weaned out more, outcrossed with a new line, etc, etc. The flock is an ongoing project. I'm striving for a line of healthy black cochins bantams that are good egg layers, have high fertility, and are true to breed type. Ideally, a blend of very good type (appearance) and increased egg production (utility). In other words, form AND function! At least that is my goal.
If you'd like some hatching eggs from my flock, just let me know.
