Mike, he has raised his own. He\'s raised black rosecombs, buff orphs and a variety of other that have not worked out. We incubate all the time. But if you don\'t have good stock, you won\'t get good egg or chickens. I\'ve tried buying eggs and having them shipped. That never works well. Our success rate is poor when they go through the PO. I even thought it was our incubator and tried our farm eggs, we hatched over 40 chickens of mixed breeding. UGH
If he gets them now, and takes care of them all winter, how is that any different?
