I began with some starter birds from 2 breeders, one had chicks that were shipped and I don't recall from where ATM, the other was was within driving distance (150 miles) of me and I picked up older straight-run birds. Out of that group, I have a great rooster, very fertile and with good conformation. He does have rust spots on his shoulders, though so I am trying to only use his chicks for meat or crossing with my Chanteclers.
I have another young rooster I am proving who has pure white plumage and I have higher hopes for his offspring. I have a few eggs incubating now, so far one has hatched.
I'll give him a few more weeks of breeding time before turning off the incubator.
Chicks or eggs are $10.00, plus any shipping.
It's spring and everyone wants birds!!!
I'm really interested in some hatching eggs. Don't want them for show, but for my own breeding project. I plan on setting eggs on April 1st. Please let me know if that's possible?
