I understand about the color. mottling and spangling are two of the hardest imo.
Slink, you could easily still buy the 25 then turn around and sell the extra as soon as they arrive. If you advertise before they arrive, you might even have folks lined up, tis the season when everyone is starting to get chicks. I don't know if Sandhill sexes their chicks, if so, they would be even easier to sell but given the recent press the Orloff has gotten, you could probably find a straight run buyer or two.
Well after much thought, I have decided to take your advice. I have filled out my order form with Sandhill . Sand hill chicks are straight run. But that is fine. It will allow me to look at a number of Roosters. Maybe I will get one or two that I really like. Time will tell? Thanks for the advice, and the kick in the pants that I needed. LOL
Slink, ya gotta be careful on BYC, I hear tell there's a bunch of enablers on here!
Well we will see about all that later. My order with payment goes out tomorrow. Shipment is now listed as mid. July. So pics will be some time comming. But really, thanks for all the help , I cant wait !!!!! I also listed Dominique's as a Sub . Just to fill the order if they were short of RO's. This was done in memory of my Mother. She was raised very poor and always told me how she loved the Dominique breed. I have only seen them in pics. But maybe I will keep a few just to see what it was that my Mom loved about them .Sorry to have missed the pep talk but glad to read it
Can't wait to see your pictures slink. Maybe ask your friend if YOU can incubate the eggs. Its really fun
Doms are beautiful and you might find that cuckoo pattern is worth your attention and if you keep up with it I'll try mentoring you in making yourself some barred Orloffs
Thanks!!!! Lord only knows how this endever will end up.GREAT bird choices
