Will be firing up the incubators for my jerseys likely in February, and would like to get some eggs to hatch some layers, not really concerned with them being purebred so much as them laying a distinctly coloured egg that will be easy to tell apart from the medium brown of my jersey giants, so they layers can stay in the same pen as the jerseys.
Looking for white, blue, olive, or very dark brown eggs. Have a marans hen no that lays quite dark and her eggs are very easy to tell from my jerseys.
Other hopeful consideration is that they not be black, blue or splash, as those are the colours my jersey chicks come out and if I hatch some want to be able to easily tell them from the jersey chicks at a glance and not have to brood separately, so chipmunk striped brown chicks would be great.
While I don't need purebred or show stock, don't really want eggs from a mixed flock where the results of the hatched chicks might vary too much.
Also looking for obviously within a decent drive distance from Cookstown, as it will be winter and shipping is out.
