Does anyone have RIR and marans eggs that aren't horribly expensive? I literally can't find anything under $30 or that isn't an auction.

Just got a chocolate orpington rooster yesterday. Plan on breeding him to my ee's later on in the spring, after it warms up. Going to be really cold for the next few days and wet. Anyone have any idea what the chicks will look like? I have a solid white, solid black and dark nixed colors on the rest of my ee's.

the whites and blacks when bread to chocolate will give chocoloate or black chicks

You could try ladycat. I just got maran eggs from her yesterday. Don't know about RIR tho.

Quote: The Genesis is a great one I've heard. I've been happy with my Hovabator 1602N. It was inexpensive and works well once you get used to incubating. I now have a Brinsea as well. I still use the hovabator when I need to hatch more than the Brinsea can hold.

Quote: Still air is non circulated. Some incubators have a fan that circulates the heat.

I have Dick's lines in my pen of RIR. Spetacular birds.

I like his prices too - he does not gauge.

I get a chuckle when i see others selling dick horstman line eggs for 3+ dollars each
