Exotic Svart Hona. Day old chicks, str. run. Super personality, flashy, these chickens can take care of themselves in the field, Fibromelanistic jet black thru & thru. Mine are sweet natured & friendly. Xtra chicks to ensure satisfaction.
Glad to hear things are going well for you. I have a mixed LF flock which I love but really enjoy raising Swedish Black Hens. I have day old, str. run chicks for $25. ea., Free Shipping. These are an exotic breed. Good Luck with your new flock, I'm really excited for you.
