Pinkchick, I'd love to go ahead and get in line for some of the offspring of those Barnies whenever they start laying! Is it too soon to ask?

Well I have decided to focus on my LF Welsummers and sell my bantam girls. Sorry no ship! It was not an easy decision and most of my egg customers preferred the dark eggs and wanted blue or greeen eggs. Well I dont have any green or oliver eggers so that is going to be the fall project and the bantams will be going to make room. I really don't have the time, devotion to keep on going with the bantams and it would take YEARS to get to the egg color that we all love. I would prefer them to go to serious breeders that have the time. Or someone's backyard pets. I am holding one back because she is so friendly so she would be a pet.

I did not realize the LF Welsummers would be in such demand than the bantams. When folks find out that their eggs were not as dark, they would go elsewhere.

Hi Fay!

LoL! Never too soon my friend! I would send you some now from my adult Johan birds but I only have one boy..one girl OH and 2 new little one week old cockerels that I hatched out last week and 8 eggs in the 'bator and several eggs sitting in the turner waiting to go to my bestfriend. One egg at a time is very slow....lol, Johan emailed me and told me that after a long hard winter his girls are telling him it's spring and he could send me some eggs if I wanted them......IF I WANTED THEM?? IF???

He's a character that Johan! Awesome gentleman to work with.

6 wellies hatched and your barnevelder egg hatched last night. Nothing from the other 3 wellie eggs yet. I'm gonna take pictures later.

From Trisha's (tls_ranch): 1 hatched and 1 pipped. (maybe 2 pipped, couldn't tell if it was pipped or a piece from the one hatching next to it got stuck on the egg)
