Will any members have a few Ixworth hatching eggs that I can have next year ? A couple of hens would be even better, but I realise that would be really pushing my luck.

We ate one of our Light Sussex cocks for dinner yesterday and he was really flavoursome :thumright: I've been thinking that it might be worth trying an experiment and running a couple of Ixworth females with the Sussex in the hope of producing an improved meatbird.
Ideally, the Ixworths would lay a different egg colour from the Sussex so that i could pick them out. :thumright:

Wish I could help but our eggs were duff

Hi there, I noticed some Ixworth hatching eggs on ebay last season, I thought they sounded a really good breed for meat, although I only had limited sucess with my ebay hatching, traveling through the postage system isn't helpful when it comes to hatching rates, so it may prove to be an expensive option.
