Wow that would drive me crazy too. 100 roosters. Were there that many at the show?

And geese honking, and call ducks whistling and other ducks quacking and hens singing the song...it is very noisy.

Yes the Monroe show was very noisy. After we got our chicks my DH told me that if one turned into a rooster that we could keep him if he was nice. If He had told me that before I would have gotten a SQ pair. As it is we are to close to neighbors for a rooster.

yes BBS is blue black and splash. splash not recognized color for showing and such. which is stupid because it comes from recognized colors. it wasnt bred into the breed using a different breed. it happens in blue.
Anyway your eggs are from two different unrelated roosters and girls. I am not sure if carol marked your eggs or not. if she did when they hatch you can band them with colors, G babies getting one color, F babies getting another etc . keep track as they grow up if you like and put girls sired by Lance in the pens with boys sired by Artie and vice versa. can get complicated eh??? but not to worry, many people do allow linebreeding and it does not go horribly wrong. I personally would keep track or split the boys and girls and find another roo to put girls under and perhaps another batch of pullets to put with your roo that you keep. My hatch of the same eggs will go under my boy hoss. they are not siblings. his get will need their own roo too. and I may keep a boy from Lance or Artie to put in with Hoss pullets.

Thanks so much for the info. I think I get it. Carol didn't mark these eggs. So I'll just have to wing it.(no poultry pun intended

) Will you eventually have some of Hoss' eggs for sale? He's so handsome!!!
I need to go to the library and get a good chicken breeders book. Any suggestions?

This may help

Have people always hated roosters crowing worse than dogs barking all night? At least chickens lay eggs that you can eat.
