So much fun! Is it the EE with the dark red head that you expect to be a boy?

Yes! He is way too beautiful and has a wide comb. Holding onto about 1% hope he’d a pullet but I doubt it. Trying to convince my husband it’s a benefit to have a rooster so I don’t have to rehome him

That one looks like a boy to me, too. Best of luck keeping him!

Located in Jefferson County, have my first flock with three EEs (2 I’m pretty sure are pullets and 1 I think is gonna be a Roos) and three BR pullets!
Just moved them from the brooder to their coop yesterday!

Fun! How old were they when you moved them outside? I'm in north-central MT and hoping to move mine out in a few weeks!

Is it greening up in the west? It's so nice to finally see grass!

Hello, I live in Great Falls and am looking for French Copper Marans, bantam EEs, Cream Legbars, frizzles, or partridge silkies. Also any olive eggers, particularly if eggs are spotted somewhat. Does anyone have any fertile eggs or chicks or pullets to sell for pickup?

 

[Bantambird]

I've got French Black Silver and Blue Silver Marans in Billings area. I'll have my cream legbars running again next year, they are getting a reboot this year. I just finished hatching about 50 chicks last week. There are a few Olive eggers among these since the cream legbar cocks got out briefly with the Marans hens.

Most of my Marans eggs are spotted so you should also get spotted eggs.

We have a broody bantam cochin.... should I buy eggs from you and have her sit on them, or should I buy chicks and sneak them under her? And she has been sitting on fake eggs for about 3 weeks now (I was trying to obtain eggs or chicks that I wanted and haven't succeeded).... will she still sit longer or give up? I can drive out to Billings.

She isn't big enough to sit on a lot of them though. We have a d'Uccle who started getting broody too, but she's even smaller.
