    Chickenless in South Carolina

    The feed store is Wagener Milling in Wagener SC. Their phone number is 803-564-5556. You should call to find out what they have before you go. It changes all the time as they get some of their chicks from local farms, and some from commercial hatcheries. I was told that they get the Buff...

    Chickenless in South Carolina

    Thanks so much. I think that is a little far for me at this time. I just discovered a local feed store that gets day old chicks from local farms. Buff orpingtons, ISA browns, Golden Comets and Ameraucanas. They never know in advance what they will have. Right now my coop will be a stall in...

    Chickenless in South Carolina

    I am looking for some chicks to buy. My husband and I have retired on a farm in Aiken SC and I am looking to start my flock. Egg laying is the focus. My favorite breeds are Rhode Island Reds and Easter Eggers/Ameraucanas, but I have had great luck with many other laying breeds. In MA, we had...

    Excellent. These are the other two from the same batch. The one in the background has barred feathers, no comb at all and yellow legs. I didn't think they looked like EEs but could they be crosses?

    Does anybody know what this is??? I got these from a classroom hatching project, otherwise I have no idea of their origin, I thought I had an EE pullet and an EE roo, but then i read a post that EEs never have wattles. So what the heck is this guy??? They are 13 weeks old.

    Conversely, do all EEs have the ear muffs and the beard? They are frequently such a mix I'm wondering what traits absolutely go along with the colored eggs.

    Thanks ArizonaDesertChick. I was inclined to think #2 was a roo because of the wattles, but I have no idea what breed he might be. He's quite unusual looking. That's a really nice array of colors in your avatar. I'm hoping that some of these chicks will lay colored eggs.

    I have 4 chicks that originally came from a classroom hatching. Some of them may be EEs. The first one started to grow muffs and a beard between 5 and 6 weeks. She(?) has 4 toes and pale yellow legs. This pic taken at 6 weeks. #2 was all white feathers and a few black spots like a...
