[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]This auction is for eggs that were collected within 3 days. Eggs will ship on Wednesday February 5th assuming payment has been received.[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Eggs will include:[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Basque - 9[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]White Bresse - 9[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]About our Basque Euskal Oiloa[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]We have owned Basque since 2011, The birds you see in the photo are the 3rd generation raised on our farm. Our birds come from James Meeks of Skyline Poultry. We had our first ever 100% hatch rate from shipped eggs which to me is a great indication of a lines health and vigor. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Since we acquired the birds, we have been selectively breeding for correctness. We hatched over 100 Basque in 2013 and chose the 10 we are using as breeders this year. All of our breeders have yellow legs and good coloring. Our breeding goals include breeding birds with broader chests and wider backs. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Basque are an ideal breed for both breeders and backyard enthusiasts. For starter, Basque eggs seem to ship and hatch better than many breeds. The egg shell quality is excellent. Basque have friendly calm temperaments and the hens lay large brown eggs and are non-broody. Basque are not auto-sexing, but by 3-4 weeks you can begin to discern the boys from the girls based on body color. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]About Our Bresse: [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]We acquired 12 eggs and hatched 10 birds in May 2013. The breeder (Chiquita) we purchased our eggs from got her breeding stock from Green Fire Farms. Of the 10 eggs that hatched, we ended up with 7 girls and 3 boys. We chose the biggest and most robust 4 pullets and 2 cockerels as our breeders. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]I had heard Bresse were indifferent with people, but that has not been my experience. I find them friendly and curious. I have limited experience with the Bresse, but so far I have been very happy with them. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333][COLOR=0000FF]Bidding starts at $30, Shipping is $16[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Here are a few photos. You can see lots more photos and videos of our birds on our website. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Basque[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] Bresse Our Bresse are young in these photos. I need to get some updated photos. Sorry.

yes, I would like to know why not Californians also

This is a guess, but there are several breeders from CA who are very involved in the shows in CA and do not want to compete against their own show quality lines in their state.

If you scroll back a few pages the answer is there. It has nothing to do with competition.

Just wanted to update on this auction that I won. Received 8 eggs and all 8 have hatched. Couldn't be any better than that. I was sure after candling yesterday, that one was not going to hatch .... but I was wrong. It's the last one and it has pipped and zipped. Just waiting for it to finish now. e

what are you bidding on? using the quote button at the bottom right helps everyone know. especially if there are multiple auctions going on. or at least state the person's name who started the auction and what the birds are...

I also think there is a requirement for having so many posts before you can bid too. the rules are on page 1.
