They seem like a lot of work to breed? I only have two hens and a rooster. Currently they’re only a few weeks old... I’m not actually in love with the the breed so far. I would like to make money off of them but I don’t know.
If I had them, being rare and expensive in a lot of cases seemingly, I'd probably keep them at least for a while. If the rooster got nasty, I may try to sell him. It's totally up to you. I'm not sure what your chicken budget is and if you don't want to pay for a breed that you're not in love with... but who knows, maybe they'll grow on you as they get older. It's totally up to you.
I could hang onto them... they’re not really hurting anything. I kind of wanted to see what type of bird I’d get if I bred the rooster with an Easter egger. I would definitely like to get into breeding and selling but I also don’t want things just to make money. I’d much prefer quality, happy animals I’m familiar with. I don’t just want to tax my animals because I CAN make money. Anything extra is great to support my family but it’s not my main goal.
If it were me I'd keep the trio, as a breeding group to sell chicks.
Do you know anything about the breed?
Not a whole lot, I've been wanting some for quite awhile, but finding sellers/Breeders selling more then 1-6 eggs is a struggle.Do you know anything about the breed?
I’m in rural Ohio. Somewhat close to Columbus. If that helps.
I had planned on never owning them because they’re so expensive. But these were given to me as payment so I was like “OKAY!!”
