Gillette is a little closer for me. Just give me a few days notice so I can start saving eggs. If you don't mind crosses I won't seperate because any rir will be purebred. I ordered Javas, cucko marans, rir, and blue cochins this year. I lost 7 of 10 javas but will reorder so hopefully next year I will have some purebred eggs out of them. So I would be good with silkies and D'uckles. I am not sure what is going on with the incubator I was going to buy. She wasn't expecting me to be in Billings for a few more weeks and let a friend use her incubator. I need to get in touch with her and find out what is going on. I am glad to know I am not the only one with breeding issues. I was beginning to think I was really screwing up something.
