Ron!!! I can always count on you!!! Thank you so much.

Are any of you who hae ordered from Ideal willing to post pictures of your adult birds? I am trying to decide between hatcheries and would love to see your pics of your Ideal birds. Thanks!

Hello Soggy Northern California Chicken Peeps!!! I am looking for hatching eggs in Butte, Sonoma, Marin, Napa or Lake Counties. My preference would be Marraduna Basque, Pita Pinta, Barnevelder or any sort of Plymouth Rock other than Barred. That said I am willing to consider other breeds as...

Thank you that makes total sense!

In March I had a broody Jersey Giant so ordered 15 assorted chicks from Meyer some "rare breeds" some not. In it were 3 blue pullets. I had taken screen shots of the breeds ready to ship on the day of my order to help me ID what I had received and by process of elimation I have done that...

Yes, however GFF is charging 20.00 per straight run chick and I would rather spend that money on eggs and roll the dice if possible. But thanks so much for your reply. That may be the route I take. GFF also has EO hatching eggs on ebay somewhat regularly so I may take that route too. :idunno

Thanks so very much!! I will check it out.:D

Hello California Chicken Friends! I am hoping someone can (or knows someone who can) help me out in my quest for Marraduna Basque hens. I have been looking for them for years and even ordered a bunch from Sand Hill last spring but they were unable to fill my order. I know there is a...

Good to know This is great information thank you. I am pleased that you had such success with the eggs coming to you from Florida. I am hopeful that if I order eggs from GFF they will make it to my little rural CA town safely. Thank you.

I am also in CA. Thanks for your insights. You make a good point about the additional stress on the embryos.

I want to add Marraduna Basque hens to my flock. I ordered from Sandhill last year but they were unable to fill my order. Since, I have been looking for breeders and have struck out with the exception of GFF which offers them both on ebay and on their website. I am curious to know if...

oops double post.

Ron they are special. Do you see the clump of black feathers on the back of the white frizzle? The Blue Andalusian combined with the splash grandma of the mama passed on the gene in the form of splash to all of the babies he sired. Each has a few splashes of black. I am excited for the...

She does doesn't she, but she isn't.:hmm I have Australorps as well. Her tail carriage is not as upright and her body is longer and as my shipment included Black Java and Black Jersey Giants I have narrowed the field to those two breeds :)

I received a shipment of Assorted American breeds that included both Black Javas and Black Jersey Giant. They hatched August 7. I am still unsure if this is a Giant or a Java. Java's were used as a foundation for Giants and they passed along their feather, leg, foot, ear and eye color. Here is...

O So from the birds in question I have held on to just this girl. Hatched August 7. I am still unsure if she is a Giant or a Java. Java's were used as a foundation for Giants and they passed along their feather, leg, foot, ear and eye color. Here is a document where I pasted pics from...
