If she is anything like Hazel, and it sounds like she is, I'd take her in a heartbeat if you weren't sooooo far away.
Hazel has been a great broody, and adds character to my flock, she has 10 times the personality of my barred rocks.
I don't regret driving over 150 miles one way to pick her up and I would rather give up any one of about half my flock before giving her up.
Lee, I'm so glad you're enjoying sweet Hazel. She and Iris are great ladies and I know they have a wonderful home with you. So, since you didn't mind driving all that way once, when I decide I have extra pullets, you wanna do it again, LOL?
SPECKLEDHEN--Thanks for "getting it" and I LOVE your blue Orps...just beautiful...wish you were closer...definetly need some Orps in my flock but much of what I'm seeing by me is nowhere near the quality you seem to have...so maybe next year I will start trying to hatch eggs so I can broaden my "henrizons
Tonka, you just let me know when you get that hatching bug and we'll set you up with some eggs from these blue lovelies. Thanks for the compliment!
We do all have our preferences I can understand that and some people only have so much room for chickens. I too have caught the purebred chicken bug. I have hatchery birds in all egglaying colors for eating and right now incubating purebred eggs. It's kind of if you wanted a throughbred to breed and found you have a nice grade mare. The mare is nice but not what you expected or planned on.
