Mr. Urch is exhibiting at our clubs show this weekend and I can maybe flag him down before coopout in the morning. I will also probably see him in a couple weeks at the MN State show in Hutchinson.
Gotta remember that his hatchery is in Minnesota. Sometimes dates do have to be pushed back. Temps dip in the double digits below 0 here. Hens slow down with laying, frozen eggs, and post office not shipping when temps are too cold.
The fact that he can produce pretty decent quality on most of his birds tells alot. Most reputable breeders refuse to sell eggs or chicks. You simply don't know until they mature a bit if they have potential or not. Even putting 2 absolutely perfect birds together is no guarantee of good offspring.
