We visited Andy while on vacation this summer. Very nice man. Nicole corrected him concerning what he wrote on his hatching eggs. Andy writes BO and Nicole politly told him they are BOBs. Andy got a real kick out of her.

Here is Andy with Nicole and her older sister Danyelle.

Wow, those are some inexpensive eggs. It would be nice to see what the quality is.

The USPS has destroyed many a good egg.

All Andy has is what is listed. Just Bantam chickens.

The quality is good. He has been breeding show quality bantams for most of his 84+ years.

I've been to Andy's several times this year and he is a wonderful man! I took lots of photos of his birds each visit. I can email photos of his breeding stock to anyone who wants to PM me an email address. It's impossible for me to load photos on BYC anymore and I haven't taken the Photo Bucket route, yet.

I have Andy's wyandottes in blue, black, GL, SL, and Columbian. I love them.

If you get a chance to meet Andy, take it. He's one of a kind. In his "free" time he hand crafts crosses in his workshop. He insisted on giving one to each of my family. When I got home, from that visit, he had left a message for me.... he wanted to know how many families went to my church. On our next visit he had crosses made for every family!
