Hi Parkboy, welcome to TQP! You are a bit early, but as soon as it warms up, my partner Ron will be getting eggs. These are true Jumbo's, but you will have to wait.  There is allot of debate about what is a "Jumbo" and what an XLD1 is. I bought "Jumbo" eggs from Lake Cumberland, and I can tell you these will be big birds. Some of the eggs were the size of Chukar eggs. The problem is, they were scheduled to hatch 2 days ago, and as of right now I have 5 chicks.  The birds Ron has are from a batch that I bought on Ebay as XLD1's and they are big birds.

So, do what you want, buy from Ebay or Eggbid or wait. It's up to you. Ghost.
