Hello. I am glad to see this thread is still alive. I'm new to chicken raising and I have 8 laying RIR females, 1 RIR rooster, and 2 11 week old Buff Orpingtons that I haven't introduced to the reds because I'm afraid they'll be mean to them. I want to diversify my flock and I am in love with the Australorp breed. I've been looking for a few months for Blue Australorp eggs with not much luck. My incubator, that I've never used and would be new to using, only holds 6 eggs. Most places seem to sell a dozen. I would love to try to hatch a dozen but since 6 wouldn't be viable after the 21 days for the first 6, I can't order 12 at a time. Curious if you would be willing to sell me 6 Blue Australorp hatching eggs now, and then 6 Black, or blue (depending on hatch rate of first 6), after the 21 days? My email is
[email protected] if you want to chat about it. So very much would love to have some blue (and eventually black) Australorps in my flock.
Thank you so much for your consideration.
