Peeps in Europe!

Yes!!! .
The first phone number was a no go. Went to a home gor elderly and stopped breeding (no roosters allowed).
But the second number was great. A breeder ‘around the corner’ with bantam Rhode Island Reds.
Actually at the other side of the river. So close I can collect them on my bike .

He is offering me 10 eggs in april for 50ct each because for him its not about making a profit. Just for fun. He likes to go to shows with his finest bantam RIR. Great guy! He told me a lot about his hobby and his favourite breed (social roosters, curious and tame).

That sounds fantastic!!! And you can't beat the price!!! That is wonderful!... So? Are you getting RIR?

Yes, Bantam RIR.
Beginning of april I’m going to prepare the hatching nestbox on the ground in the second run. I put 4 eggs in it and just wait until I have a broody. It should be no problem to get a broody within one or two weeks. Then I can call the breeder to make an appointment to collect the eggs.

I got an interesting egg yesterday... almost shaped like a Minion. It's large, 67g. Wondering if it's a double yolker. Of course it won't go into the incubator.

Open it and you will know.

Open it and you will know.

I will!! But there are other eggs that need to be eaten beforehand.
