    Mojo Chick'n : The price is just $29.95 for 100 + 10 extra chicks - plus shipping, total price to me was 44.55 this time (was a dollar or so more last time, so maybe they are overrun with extras and took a little off?) They are all dual purpose heavy breed chicks, BA, BR, white rock, possible...

    Love the chickenbutts pic and love the white (EE?)pullet with the greenish legs. My EEs are black/gray so the green legs don't stand out to much. Love it!

    Why do the eggs need to rest 12 hr before incubating?

    I only heard it is necessary for shipped eggs to "rest." But I'm no expert.

    No, I didn't get a chance to visit any of the local Amish. I was just hoping to check it out and see what all they had to offer at the swap and what prices things/critters were going for. I was in town visiting family for an early Father's Day so I wasn't even sure I would have a chance to get...
