Hey, Georgians! I have a bit of tragic news, followed by a devious plot.
First, the sad news. One of our dogs has recently discovered that killing chickens is fun
We have yet to figure out how she's getting them out of the coop and run, but I'm of the opinion that we should just find the dog a new home.
The news gets worse, though. Just yesterday she got my little brother's favorite hen, an Old English Game Bantam. She was a sweetie, well named as Candy.
It gets even worse for my poor brother, though. He had his heart set on taking up some of Candy's eggs and hatching them out as his Science project this year, as he's taking Life Science in middle school right now.
Unfortunately, we hadn't put up any eggs into storage for this, and Candy was our only currently laying hen.
Now, my devious plot. I have yet to get the go ahead from Mother on this, but I'm thinking she'll like the idea.
I am thinking of getting some eggs from either
eBay or a fellow BYC'er for brother to hatch, so he can still do his project, and the icing on the cake would be to get OEGB eggs.
I can't buy right now, but is there anyone here in good ol' Georgia who might have some OEGB eggs available soonish?
Thanks for your time, everyone.
