I love Wellies...how do the bantams and their eggs compare to the LF?
Could you post pics of birds, eggs?
Thanks!

Is that $7.50 each egg?

I would love to see pictures of the birds and eggs as well.

Beckie,
Yes $7.50 ea. they come with paperwork.
Cheaper than importing a chicken for $600.-
If you give me your e-mail address I send you pictures.
Best Regards,
Andre.

These are the eggs for comparison. My Bantams are not from OP's lines. It is a different line.

The eggs aren't real dark in the bantams are they? I wonder if there is a way to improve that.

Of course...if you use only the chicks hatched from the darkest eggs for breeding, there will be improvement with each generation...

I understand that is how it works with dark eggs but these aren't dark.

No, not really, are they?...but I have always understood that dark egg layers have been produced from the lighter brown layers. Am I mistaken? Did "dark" originate in nature?
