I sent an email out over the weekend about a couple of breeds but haven't heard back yet. I got an incubator for Christmas so will likely be hatching the eggs. I might let the elementary school hatch them and then I would raise them, I'll see about it.

And just what needs are you interested in? I'm still somewhat active over on Byc, so if you don't get any responses, I ugh be able to round some up over there for you.

I'm trying to get some show birds. I can always ask around at Stock Show in a couple weeks. Thanks for the offer

We found a breeder and are in process of deciding if we will order baby chicks or hatching eggs.

Heard at Stock Show that I should hatch for each show, my reaction was not yet.

Okay, my advice is to have them inside the house. Not sure though, every situation is different though
