Rabbieboy Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I just picked up 9 powder blue eggs from one my foremen at work, it's good to be in charge sometimes. They are from the Shetland hen and I plan to incubate them this week when I get home from work. I fly to the mainland on monday morning and hope to get the eggs home in one piece, lots of bubblewrap and selotape. Fingers crossed. The man I got the eggs from is really into his rare breed animals, he has Shetland lambs, hens and cows. (Kye is the sheltie name for cow, Yow is a ewe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 oooh tell more My friend and I were discussing what breed he should go for next and I think he should go for a blue egg layer. Hes IN Shetland so they would be perfect. I'm assuming you're out there as you talk about mainland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
