Chocolate Eggs - and it's not even Easter!
Six Chocolate Orpington hatching eggs sold on eBay today for £250 (Two hundred and fifty pounds - just in case you think I've misplaced the decimal point). Apparently, a pullet sold for £250 and a cockerel for £500 this year.
They are stunning hens IMHO, but I wouldn't pay that for a REAL chocolate egg!
I bought 12 Cream Legbar eggs - and am committed to following the incubator instructions to the letter. I fear I have been rather complacent with the last two batches, which probably explains the poor hatch rate. Must do better!

I've absolutely no idea why the previous post has appeared three times.

I know - you'd certainly make sure your facility was fox proof - expensive lunch for Reynard!

I had an enquiry through our poultry website last week about chocolate Orpingtons (I didn't know you could get chocolate ones). I think, perhaps, the enquirer didn't know about these prices - or maybe he did and is very rich. Imagine paying £500 and then finding it on its back with its feet in the air!
