http://www.eggbid.com/listings/details/index.cfm?itemnum=1219726424 That is an insane amount of money for eggs!
Those eggs are from Valentine Hatchery. I recognize the photo and the guy's name from an email he sent me once. I have heard mixed review about Valentine Hatchery. $82 is a lot of money for eggs but I am currently on Bev's Marans waiting list (It's about a year out) and she charges $60/ dozen, but I am more than willing to pay it for her eggs.
yes it is expensive but i have seen a half dozen of the black coppers going for over a hundred just for the six. so really it could be worse.
I paid $96 for six eggs. At the time I thought I was getting hosed, but after seening a lot on this board, I consider it a deal. It is hard to get hens from proven dark laying lines. I don't know how Ray's line lays. His hens are American standard, not feather legged. I wish people would post pics of the eggs along with the birds when they are selling marans.
I paid $50 (not including shipping) for a dozen of Harvest Breeze Farm's bantam cochin eggs. I'm down to 4 eggs with live chicks...just the usual #@*%# from shipping, I'm sure. But what chicks I get will be worth it...they are awesome.
Quote:I have a black lexlink also. There due look a lot alike. But the gold/bronze is more pronounced and goes all the way around and farther up the neck. That is sure one hansom roo on the right
