It's great to finally find this thread! I hatched out three sets of eggs last year from 2 different breeders. My birds are gorgeous but are mildly aggressive with any other poultry. The are great with my children and I, but I doubt I would be able to add any other birds to their flock. We have actually ate a few also. My first hatch was all cockerels and 1 hen, only me, and we needed to cut back on all that testosterone.
Right now we are just sitting back waiting for this long winter to be over. I'm hoping that the hens will start laying soon. I can't wait to fill the incubator.
