I'll be in Metcalfe County.
I'm hoping to find some bantam breeders that I can purchase eggs from next Spring.
How does moving with chickens work? Do you bring your flock with you? Rehome them first? Rehome most and just bring favorites? Do tell!
Whoa boy, this is going to take some time to understand, isn't it? Thank you for taking the time to set me straight. So I don't want self blue (recessive modifier, or masker?), I want true blue - the dominant modifier. There is no way I'm going to find d'uccles in time for his science project...

Thanks for the info.
Just to make sure you see this, I posted a reply to Zonoma's original response. Self blue and lavender are 2 different names for the same thing. Self blue and Blue are 2 different colors.

All was well this morning, the two young ones perched next to the marans like they had always been there
Well, I can't say it was as easy as that for my itty bitties (the roo got pecked at a bit) but no one dead or dying or even seriously injured so I'd say that's a win. They've still...

where are you and how much are they? how old?
I'm in Walton (50 miles north of you, roughly) and I'd like $20 but would take $15. Of course, after Whimsy's post I'm considering going and putting them in the coop right now.
EDIT: Okay, so I didn't toss the Sebrights in with the big...
