Hi everyone. I've been lurking around for awhile but finally made an account. I live in Hixson and have 4 chickens, 3 quail, and random other non-chicken critters. I bought 4 Easter Egger pullets from Stockdales, and am pretty sure one is now a rooster that I am going to have to rehome. I've been looking through all the posts on here for hen/rooster identification as well as anything local, and hopefully am going to the Delano Mennonite Farm on Saturday for some veggies and maybe a chicken or two. If anyone has information on that farm/sale, please let me know as I'm not finding much information at all.
I have 11 chicks that hatched out Thursday and Friday (July 14 & 15) and they're ready to find new homes.
They're mutts.
That said, the hens that laid the eggs include black Orpingtons, barred rocks, Easter eggers, Americana, red game, and Rhode Island reds. The fertilizing roosters were also a variety. So...there's no telling what these li'l things will turn out to look like. I got the eggs from someone on Craigslist, who sells hatching eggs. She told me they have great success with the eggs, and after hatching out 11 of 12, I'd agree.
They're being sold as straight run. Quite a few have feathers starting to poke out from under their wings, so if you think that means hens, you're in luck! But I make no promise about any of them being male or female. I only promise they are real-life chickens.
They're $2 each, but if you buy all 11, I'll give 'em to you for $20. That's right - one chick absolutely free!
