I need help finding a hatchery

[pipermark]

Tailfeathers, I went to your site, you have very pretty looking birds, however I did not see any pictures of eggs, and that was what we were discussing. If you breed to egg color as well as APA standards I would be very interested in hatching eggs or chicks.

The kids got themselves a Little Giant. They were saving for the less expensive dome one, but after all the bad reports, they decided to save more for this one. I have heard mixed reviews. I worry our altitude might work against us with it. But hopefully we can tweak this or that and have at least a few hatches.

I have ordered both Coturnix quail and am ordering welsummers all from BYC'ers for the kids to hatch. Their egg sales (so far to family and friends) sponsor their field trips and such. Being homeschooled we like to be able to go on field trips too! But can't hack the costs with out big groups or school discounts. But this at least offsets it. So that's why we got the incubater, so they can hatch (science), raise (animal husbandry, health, etc), sell (economics), and earn (math and life skills).

Yes, I do breed for egg color - in both my Welsummers and my Ameraucanas. I just never got around to putting any eggs on my website.

One of these days if I can get my the digital camera from my wife, I'll have to take some pics and put them on my website for others to see.

I am getting nice, dark terra cotta brown eggs. Some have speckles in them and some are better than others. I am breeding only the darkest, smoothest, largest eggs from the best APA SOP birds.

I'm breeding my Ameraucanas and filling orders for those first but then will be doing my Welsummers.

God Bless,
