jasper65 6 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Good result mate..let's hope most of them are hen's.. I hope so mate! will probably grow on one or two cockerals for the pot . nearly all the silkies are gone now passed onto a old boy on the estate, still got one leghorn left which is at the moment our star laying bird but the eggs for some reason aren't very big for the size of the bird.....

chimp 299 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 might be an idea to put a 'trusted ebayer' who sells eggs , i got some legbar eggs , his feedback looked good but not one hatched Quote Link to post Share on other sites
francolin 449 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 good result,not the best way to source hatching eggs,but better than the fur and feather markets that is a gambel,good luck mate thay look a mixed bunch but spares will come in handy for the bop dinner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Nice one Francolin , here they are at 14 days! Its looking like 5 hens if the darker one's are anything to go by but we'll see. Jasp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
