ODDBALLS – HATCHING EGGS
* Only $65\/dozen – Shipping INCLUDED *<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know, you’re seeing this thinking, what is an oddball, and why does this lady keep making up new names for hatching eggs and chickens? I can’t really answer the latter part, but here’s an explanation for the former:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Some breeding pairs are just…ODD.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I hatch and hold onto chicks from random pairings just to see what they turn into. These are eggs from such pairings. Some of their parents are results of such pairings as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. BANTAM: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The hen “Pearl” is a random TSC bantam bin find. She’s probably some kind of bantam Easter Egger, since she lays light green eggs, but I really have zero faith in that guess. The roos she lives with are a Gray (Blue?) Silkie named “Gandalf” and a Black and Copper Satin feathered Silkie mix named “Krakatoa”. My bet is on Krakatoa being the pops but your guess is as good as mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
