The cream legbars are still a newer breed. GFF is selling them for 59.00 a chick and then you still have to ship them. Shipped eggs are a gamble as well. I would pay $35 for an autosexing chick that is still selling for $59+. Just my two cents as this was a breed that I was really interested in...

I really hope you'll stay in touch.

I would love them, but I am not ready yet Judging by the pictures looks like maybe an 8x4 coop and 16x16 run? If so, my 16 birds are comfortable in the same size (they have a bit of extra run space under the coop, which juts out from the run instead of being inside it), but a bit crowded. I...

I was thinking something similar. After my neighbors complained about me...and I keep my pens clean and not overcrowded (well, not too overcrowded anyway). That is, they have more space than the state requires, but less than BYC folks recommend, but more than the IFA "coops" that they sell...

I noticed the same thing about you. You really do look and move like you feel better. On a different note, I am so sorry to hear that Paper passed away. I met her the other week that I was there.

Yeah, but keep In mind that they are shipped eggs in the worst conditions.. They were never meant to be hatched. Of course if you hatch them, they are from industrial laying lines...

She is interested still so when can I come get some eggs?

OK, I sent her an IM and will let you know if she is still looking for eggs. I told her about the Trader Joes eggs as a possibility, so she may have gotten some of those.

How much would you like for them?

Hey all, I just wanted to ask again (now that the hatch a long has started), does anyone have any fertile eggs in/around SLC area? My friend has an unbreakable broody and I would like to help encourage her chicken addiction She is only looking for a few (4 or so), since this is a first time...

With shipped eggs there are a lot of variables. Out of all my hatches last year (all but one was shipped), my marans did the best. I hatched four of six with those. most I only hatched 1-3. There is a thread on here called something like "The Great Egg Shipping Eggsperiment". Anyone who...

So jealous of all the chickies! I have to behave this year...must...be....good....

That would be nice

Hi Goat! Here is the Utah! Thread I was telling you about: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/24/utah/22590#post_13120596

Also, if I do need to get rid of my hens...I have four Bresses hens and a gorgeous lavender ameracauna. The Bresse, for all their reputation as meat birds, are laying machines. They were my only girls laying through the winter. The marans girl lays decent dark eggs, all six of them before she...
