1. I first started with chickens in 2009; I incubated welsummer eggs from eggs purchased at a backyard swap I learned of here on BYC and purchased shipped Delaware Blue Hen eggs also advertised here on BYC.
2. I have 11 chickens presently; just egglayers and one bantam cockerel.
3. My breeds are...
I have two bantam Araucana hens (DOH 2/22/10) I hatched about 2 years ago from shipped eggs I received from Ann Charles. They lived with an elderly friend of mine until recently when she could no longer keep them. They lay almost daily, with the brown one laying a blue/green egg and the white...
I live in town and I will no longer be raising standard-sized chickens; I'm having to go to bantams. I need to find a home for my small Delaware Blue Hen flock that consists of 5 pullets and 1 rooster. Elwood, the rooster, is 2 years old, and the five girls will be a year old in early summer...
This fellow is a 7 month old (DOH 2/22/10) clean-faced, partially tailed, Black Breasted Red Bantam Araucana cockerel that I hatched out of shipped eggs from Ann Charles (SkyBlueEgg). I can drive part of the way to meet you, if needed. Thanks for looking!
This fellow is a 7 month old (DOH 2/22/10) double-tufted, rumpless Blue Bantam Araucana cockerel that I hatched out of shipped eggs from Ann Charles (SkyBlueEgg). He has orange color throughout his hackle feathers. I can drive part of the way to meet you, if needed. Thanks for looking!

These 7 bantam fellas were hatched from shipped eggs I received from Sky Blue Eggs and are 14 wks old; all are non-standard bantams. They're $10 each, and I would be willing to drive part-way and meet for delivery (I'm in central Florida). PM me if you're interested; thanks for looking!
Update...
I've hatched out quite a few Delaware Blue Hen chicks and have both blue and black pullets and cockerels available. Their ages range from 6 weeks to 12 weeks. PM me if you are interested; thanks for looking!
5 Black Sex-Link pullets: $15.00 for all or $4.00 each. When I purchased feed back in March, "Chick Days" was going on, so I received these 5 gals for free. I can't believe I forgot to write down on the calendar when I got them, but they're approximately 12 weeks old. I'm in central Florida and...
These are sold; thank you for looking!
7 standard Buff Orpington chicks; $2.00 each or all 7 for $10.00. These little guys hatched out 5/15. I live in central Florida and am willing to drive and meet 1/2 way.
My black Orpington pullet just went broody for the first time, and someone is sending me a dozen hatching eggs. I can put extras in my incubator; how many should I put under my broody?
My MPC Rainbow Assortment arrived this past Wednesday! Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on possible breeds:
Silver-laced Wyandottes?
Speckled Sussex (left) & brown Leghorn (right)?
Clueless on these!
Golden Sex-link?
Brown Leghorns?
White Leghorns? White Rocks?
I don't see...
UPDATE 10/07/09: I only have 1 Welsummer Roo left to give away; thanks everyone!
I need to find homes for some roos; they're free. These 20 week old fellas were hatched in my incubator from shipped eggs I purchased from BYC members. The 5 RIR roos are from dark mahogany exhibition stock and the...

First time chicken owner here (new to snakes, too! ), and we'll be putting the chickens in their new backyard coop in the next couple of days. I spotted my first snake in the backyard; he's a baby, about 12 inches. I know I'll be needing him in the future if he's one of the good guys, but I...
I am downsizing, so I need to find a home for 3 Golden laced & 1 Silver Laced Polish chicks that are 4 weeks old. They've had the Marek's vaccine. I don't know if they are cockerels or pullets. One of the chicks has 1 crooked toe. I live in central Florida (Bartow) and would be willing to meet...
I am planning on selling some Welsummer cockerels locally, and not many people have them around here. With a Welsummer roo, what egg color would you get if you crossed them with a brown egg layer or a white egg layer? I know people will ask that question and I don't know. Thanks for any answers!
These are my first Polish chicks, and they are a hoot!
Here's Elvis (actually, I don't have a clue about their gender!):
There's a speckled sussex in there, too:
