Yes, if we could just swap out eggs, that would be super!
And if you want to become a full-fledged "member" of the project, all it would involve is breeding towards big, mottled chickens. Kinda seems like you're leaning that way, already! LOL.
If you want to breed for red and white mottled, that's awesome! The barred ones have been a problem for us, though. They start out really cool, with barring mixed in with white patches. But eventually, the barring just seems to "take over" and they end up . . . barred. Such a bummer, because as chicks they look awesome.
Anyway, if the "reds" look different from the chicks by the barred roos, that's no prob, we can cull those out and keep the red ones only. We're looking for fresh bloodlines to keep things strong here. I took some more photos of my new girls, gotta upload them still. Will post more later!
Going through a little lull in laying on a couple of my hens - Kona and Ginger seem to be taking a vacation this week.
I could let you know when things pick up and I've gathered a dozen if you want to do the same? Maybe trade in a couple weeks or so? I'm thinking of worming everybody which would require me waiting a couple of weeks, anyway. What do you think?

Will post more updated pics later!
