Speckled Sussexs are probably the friendliest birds that I have! I also have Orpingtons (blue, black, splash, lavender, chocolate, and mauve), and Easter eggers. I'll have chicks and eggs in the spring.
I have Easter Eggers - however no one is really laying right now. I also have an Easter egger rooster if you'd like him for free! I live in Delanson, but travel to Worcester NY somewhat frequently.
I live close to Albany... in Delanson. I usually try to start setting eggs in March or April. Let me know if you want chicks, as I probably won't do as much hatching this year as I normally do.
Hopefully I can make it this year! If so I'll have Blue, Black, Splash, mauve, lavender, and chocolate Orpingtons, Easter eggers and speckled Sussexs. Oh, potentially some ducklings.
Anyone want free roosters!? Easter egger, lavender Orpingtons, and some smaller game type cockerels. I was planning on putting these guys in the freezer... however the freezer is full and I'm not a fan of butchering birds in the cold.
I planted more today! I've been planting peas every 2 weeks (in succession no replanting). I finally had some pop! The batch planted 2 weeks ago are sprouting. I also got some lettuce, spinach, carrots, and beets in the ground. I have lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussel sprout...
They are day old... but I actually just had someone pick them up. They never last long! I have boxes and can ship, if you're interested in a hatch in the near future.
Anyone want Black Orpington Chicks? These are out of quality stock... I'm headed out for a business trip next week, and really want to minimize the amount of chicks in the brooder :). Willing to make a great deal for some one!
Yay! I should be able to make it!
I'll be bringing B/B/S, chocolate, chocolate cuckoo, and cuckoo orpington chicks (maybe a few started birds), and hatching eggs. I can also bring speckled sussex (if my rooster gets his "stuff" in order), easter eggers, and barn yard mixes.
I might have...
A. Is anyone working on creating these?
B. Without crossing to a BLRW, what would be the best way to create this project color?
My thoughts...
Cross a Gold Laced Cockerel to a Red Hen --> per the chicken genetics calculator the F1 (A) cross will be Black patterned red
