toastedblue Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 knows a breeder in South Wales ? we want to hatch a couple of Exchequer Leghorns but can only buy online in batches of 6 as we only need 2 does anyone want the other 4 eggs for a nominal fee this is what they look like... pick up only or delivery within 10 miles of Tonyrefail (by road not as the crow flies) or, if you know a breeder of Exchequer Leghorns local to me please let me know thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Don't forget that the odds of hatching females is only about 50:50, that is why they are usually sold in sixes. With just 2 eggs you might find yourself stuck with 2 cockerels and the age old problem about what to do with them. Of course with six...you could end up with six cockerels!

toastedblue Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 thanks Eglutine have decided on 3 French Wheaton Maran, from our local supplier (Poultry Mill), instead may try the Exchequer Leghorns next time if I can find a local breeder thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
