I've been thinking lately that I kind of want to hatch out eggs or add some more chicks to my flock. Was thinking/hoping to possibly have eggs and an incubator or broody for the HAL
But anyways, for eggs I guess it would probably be better to start with cheap ones of like any breed but for chicks I want Speckled Sussex, Gold or Silver Laced Wyandotte, Partridge or Silver Laced Rock, and possibly a Brahma or EE rooster or maybe hens. I really want those breeds but more colors/varieties of Orpingtons or Australorps would be cool too or any color for the Wyandottes and Rocks, those are just the colors I want most.
ETA: Oh or Delaware, Dominiques, Cochins, or Buckeye.
Anyone know where to find those in or near Massachusetts? I'm in southeastern MA, near like Kingston, Plymouth, etc. but I'd be willing to travel a little bit. Or maybe there's a good breeder here on BYC that ships eggs or chicks?
Otherwise I might order from a hatchery or find a farm store that carries them but I don't really want to pay for shipping from a hatchery.
And btw, if I did go the feed store route, does anyone have any recommendations for a store that usually has good stock and/or variety of breeds?
Thanks in advance
