I can't wait until summer when hubby finally breaks down and allows more types, of birds.
I opt for the "begging forgiveness" rather than the "permission" option otherwise I would never have any chickens at all...

Gahhhhhh between these and TJ's Mille Fleurs...not fair, not fair!! Lol my bator is FULLLLLLLL...I would so buy another bator right now if my husband wouldn't flip lol...then againnnnnnnnn my birthday IS the 26th...(sigh!)A dozen Silver Spitzhauben Hatching Eggs ... auction ends 7:30am Tuesday Eastern time (I think that will be 8:30am for most of you on here?) Auction starts at: $16 plus $15 in shipping - if you want extra handling let me know and we can arrange. Eggs are a brilliant White - medium size and they lay consistently. Parent birds are out of 3 lines (from 2 breeders) and the parents are show quality -but the chicks ... that is the risk we all takeYou have a really good chance of all the genes coming together and the hardest parts on these birds seem to be the dark eyes and crests. They are good on these parent birds - with the only slight thing I would change is the crests are a little too full.

They are brown Leghorn hens not white . Yes same pen same rooster .So the sbel and ccl pullets are all in the same pen under ccl rooster? I've been very curious as to what the BLxccl birds look like since white is a major hawk attraction here.
