I have 3 very nice purebred breeder quality chicks. They were purchased as eggs from private breeders not hatcheries.
I have one bearded buff laced polish, one blue aracauna, one splash wyandotte, and a very big/wide black orpington (he's going to be huge! he was the biggest chick I ever saw...
I ordered eggs from the east coast (I live on the west coast) set them under my broody and one hatched day 22, another 2 days later then the last one 3 days later.
One is a cuckoo maran, the other is a bcm and the third I don't know what kind of maran it is very light yellow with pale silvery...

My "Shannon" turned out to be a "Shane" and sadly can't keep it where I live. He is friendly and has been hand reared.
