Title: WANTED Ixworth hatching eggs
Post by: becca1401 on August 03, 2009, 08:09:34 pm

I am looking for anybody who has any Ixworth hatching eggs for me to incubate. I am hatching out white Orpingtons and dark Brahmas at the moment but would really love some Ixworths. If anyone can help I would most appreciate it.

They are nothing that special just white. They are on the endangered list as a pure breed,I wanted some before I knew this.I will keep a cockerel and hen of this breed and keep my own line going.

I suppose they lay white eggs so not too popular with people in UK as they like Brown eggs. Hope you get some, at least they can be posted as eggs!!
