Hard to say right now, but I think there will be more boys than girls. You said you wanted a roo if it was one of those with the black spot on top of its head?

Yes, I will take back any roosters you don't want/won't eat or use. If any of the mottleds end up to be boys, and have red barring, I will even pay for them :D would just have to figure out how to get them here...at this stage I don't think they'd appreciate being bubblewrapped and spending six days in the mail :D

When is that OBP show? There is nothing I am really sure of for sex yet, just suspicions.

October 20/21st. That should give you plenty of time.

I am picking the one on the top as a roo. One of the ones with a black dot on top, is he the one you want? Will be no doubt by Oct, and he will be scrapping and needing a new home. Pay? How about another dozen mailed eggs.

@Farrier1987 You mean the guy looking at your fingers? Yep, a boy. I'm not particular about which one, just whatever boy(s) you have no use for. Unless, of course, you completely fall in love with them and decide to breed them :-) Another dozen eggs you say? Have you got another broody yet? I can mail out a dozen eggs a week from today if you like :lol: None of them will be Goldy's though, she's broody and on strike. I kept taking her eggs because I wanted to hatch lots ( 6 or 7 are in the incubator as we speak)and because I didn't WANT her to go broody, so she'd give me more eggs...but she has other ideas and decided to sit on the fake egg I leave in there. So I caved and gave her a few eggs.

I meant eggs some time, not right now. Peachy hatched yesterday and I have two more setting. I will probably keep one of the boys to spread his pollen here. Not sure just what I will do, but I look to be well fixed for pollen producers anyway.
