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
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.
