Capt, I'll be penning mine next month to start collecting eggs... not central but Roanoke area, if you're willing to drive or ship (eggs not chicks). Once I start hatching I won't be selling chicks right away, until they're grown a bit more and I can tell color, since I know ME and I keep forgetting to mark the eggs I collect. LOL I'll have several pens with 1 or 2 girls in each. I have 2 SG boys (one got best of breed at the recent show in Knoxville) one 'dark' boy, a colored and 2 reds. These will be going with their respective hens, except the colored will get 1 SG and 2 off colored red girls. he also has best size and type, so that's why I'm putting the sg with him. none of them are perfect, and I'm fighting side sprigs (not sure who brought them in but now to get rid of) so about 1/3 of my chicks are coming out with sprigs this year. Think I know which hen it was, she's no longer here, so crossing fingers for next year... find me on fb if you want to talk more. I don't check byc as often as I used to. pics are hen that took reserve breed. the cockerel wouldn't cooperate for the camera and the lighting wasn't the best, so everything had a yellow hue. pictures taken by Leigh Schilling Photography (here's her art page, can't find the link for the photos right now) https://www.facebook.com/Leigh-Schilling-Art-1599667873587737/?fref=ts
