I'm in Martinsville, VA and looking for other feathered friends! I hope to get some chicks in the spring and would love to buy local as well. I'd also be interested in ordering chicks as a group.
The eggs are not super dark, but they are a darker brown the the sex linked eggs. They were hatched at the local elementary school and given to me so they may be a mixed breed hen.
I am new to owning chickens but I love it! I have 5 hens and I built my own coop this past summer for them. The first two hens (Black Sex Link, I think) started laying late October and then my Easter Egger and the two Wheaten Marans started laying in Decemer. I am getting large light brown eggs...
