OH Dear Tippy

I agree with camping about wanting quality stock BUT until I find the "breed" for me , I am going to stay with the hatcheries. LOVE the look, and eatabilty of the SLW but not the size of eggs. I mean why would I want to have to sell18 mediums for the same prices as 12 large just not cost efficient. Hope the Delaware's are a better fit

also I really like the "Columbian coloring" Also for the most part the color scheme seems to be black/white./or grey out at the farm. LOL wasn't really planned that way just what happened.

BRB got to check on the apple sauce I am cooking, do mine in the over so much easier and less chance of scorching that way.

Maybe try a few heritage SLWs before you give up on them? Or a different hatchery. You might have just had a bad run.

that might be but they just seem so very slow to get to a normal (lg) size egg. Compared to the sex links or the australorps and possible even the light brahma's.

Oh they are fun in a meeting. I especially like the ones that repeat themselves and everyone else.

Or at least how impressive they think they are. Hang in there, Tipppy!
