Where else can someone get eggs from? This lady was just selling the chicks for the man that hatched them. He lives in an hoa and is not allowed to have chickens. He just apparently likes to hatch. I wish I could figure out how to get these pics off my phone and someone could tell me who's stock I have. If they are 7 weeks and 3 roos are obvious, will any more roos pop up later?

I would get them from James at Skyline. Go to the first post on this thread and click on his link.

 

I set 15 of his shipped eggs on Saturday for the Easter Hatchalong and candled them last night. 14 have veins wee.gif

23 out of 25 of mine have veins (from James). Other two have blood rings. I never imagined getting these results from shipped eggs !!

I think I am being misunderstood. I purchased EO chicks locally, the eggs were shipped but we don't know if they are from greenfire or from james. I have 11 total, 8 of which appear to be pullets, of those 8 pullets 3 of them look various shades shades of mille de fleur. Quite pretty. Laptop has crashed, so no pics.

The question was, besides greenfire and james, could these eggs have come from some place else?

Pastrymamma, just curious what you paid for the chicks?

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

In the u.s. I believe greenfire and skyline (James) are the only ones you would want to get eggs from. Others would probably be brother and sister matings. No one else has had them as long as those two. At least no one has been active on any of the forums I read.

They are most definately EOs, its just these 3 random mille de fleur pattern ones are throwing me off. If they had some type of crest, I would swear they were swedish flower hens, which she did have in the brooder as well, but they had leg bands on and admitted that they along with a trio of cream legbars came from greenfire.

The asking price of these chicks was jawdropping and I originally only bought 4. Then I thought I had 3 roos at 3 weeks old, so I went back and cleaned her out. The asking price was $15 per chick. Well, I bought every last one so I haggled so a bit. Perhaps I will call her to see if she can find out where these eggs came from.

For CENTRAL VIRGINIA residents!   I am offering this trio of Basque chicks (2/18 hatch date) at the local swap on March 31st.  Cockerel is on the right, two pullets to the left. They have too much white per the Spanish standard I will be following in my breeding program; yet given the limited and mixed nature of the US available stock, these birds may very well throw 'perfect' specimens too.

In fact, out of all my chicks, only four pullets and two cockerels will be forming breeding pens based on the standard including this lovely dark red/brown barred cockerel from Greenfire Farm.  Second cockerel on has paler yellow/gold barring color

I love the Mille Fleur pattering on my EO's.  If you go back to pages 40-50 (I think somewhere in there) there's some discussion on them. And I think $15 per chick is a pretty good price too!
