Lily laid a jumbo egg today, as usual, but this one was the length of my pointer finger. Of course, not even a double yolker- just one HUGE yolk! UGH!!

Look what I found. 17 week old Red and Black Sexlinks available from McMurray.

Anyone going after them? http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/red_started_pullets.html http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/black_star_started_pullets.html You can also get White Leghorn pullets at the same age. http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/started_white_leghorn_pullets.html

Yep, I think my next door neighbor might order them, in fact.

There was a thread about this a little while back and most of us were in agreement that while the actual prices of the birds was a fair price, most of us said there was no way we would pay the express shipping cost for them or any hatchery quality birds for that matter when it would probably be much easier to find cheap ones locally. Im looking in Strombergs catalog and their 17 week old pullets are $12.50 plus $64.01 for shipping for ONE bird. I could see paying that for show quality breeders, but for hybrids just for layers ????? No way I'd even think about that.
