I got 2 cockerels last year from FL. I got them for a project but that project has made a 180 and I have them all up for sale on CL. I might keep a couple of the pullets for that project but they don't have much silver expressing. I have not gotten any eggs from the pullets. My hen didn't lay dark eggs either.Did not know you had Birchens Donna. Where are they from we may need to talk.
