Man! I wish I'd been on here a week earlier...I'd have loved to have stuck a few eggs in. In fact, my dad and I had been talking about getting a hold of you about hatching out some mutts of ours before I get rid of the two boys I let grow out this summer. Oh, well! Now I'll have to be satisfied with helping you get rid of your extras.
I'd love to have some Wheaten Marans and I may know a few other folks who'd like some too...and not just only the girls. I have some friends I get eggs from when mine go broody and I am unashamedly stacking the deck as to what kind of mixes I'd like to hatch out from them. I helped them get a BlueCM roo from ke_ben and now their BO roo has passed I think they'll be in the market for another boy.
I'd be glad to pass along the surplus... I'm just in it for only three French hens. And if someone wants to take the boy-boys off my hands too, well, YAHHHHH!
It saves me from doing deeds. Any interest in the Salmon Faverolles? (Now, here I am truly counting my chickens before they hatch....)
Absolutely, we'll see what you end up with! I can definitely find takers for girl chickies although I'll personally only want 2-3 tops. It' s sooo hard
not to count them before they hatch! Each little egg seems so full of promise! I know what you mean about the boys. I prefer to "deed" the boys asaik (as soon as I know) so that I don't get attached or have to pay for all that feed for nothing. So it's great you can tell w/in a few weeks of hatching. I'm hoping that will help me convince my friends to take a boy too. If they know for sure they have x amount of females then just 1 male doesn't seem so bad. Right?!?
