they are going to be big birds

i'm looking for them to be big like an English orp & to lay 6 eggs a week like a Bresse
maybe you should keep a trio to play around with it's not like i can't send some more for the mission in the months to come

it will be interesting.

I have a black bresse roo only. No hens. I will have to get some eggs for next trip.The last trip was to concentrate on the core breeds. I keep kicking myself over the RIR and other Buff orps not being delivered in time as well as not picking up the San Diego eggs. RIR and Buff Orps attract a lot of interest there.

I think there is a lot of potential with Bresse and the crosses.

I have just got an inquiry about lots of fancy breeds


dÚccle
brabanter
lakenvelder
Mille Fleur
Watermaal
Spitzhauben
Russian orloff
black sumatra
langshan
hamburg
Golden Campine
sultan
Spitzhauben,
Crevecoeur,
Houdan,
Pavlovskaja

I wont even consider many of them due to logistics but the interest is intersting.

I guess the delivery guys have been talking because the owner of our feed store's wife was asking Mrs Oz about our breeds and wants to come out. She says she has people we should meet.

The market is expanding....
