16 / 16 today! Been getting 14-16 a day for over a week now. Overrun with eggs right now....

Thanks for the info! Very interesting! My hens are red with white tails, and some red with black tails. So are they all Red Star x Red Star? None are striaght Red Stars (does that make sense)? What about Spencer, the white one, you think is RS x RS too? I was told my older Roosters (see my...

Please let me know if you sell them or not. I am interested, but am waiting for the IRS to send me some money before I can buy any right now. I don't want to bid until I have the cash to buy. Thanks!

Hi Heather. Let me know if you hear of any chicken swaps. I've only had my flock for a year now, but so addicting. I'd like to go to one!

Thought I'd ask the experts on what breeds / mix they thought these guys were. All of them I bought when they were 1 week old at a local farmers market. I was told they all were red star sex links / RIR (or production reds). This is "Pretty Boy Floyd". I'll have to get a better pic of him...

I think this is a rooster too but DH thinks its a hen. One leg looks like it has a bump where the spur will come in, but DH says no.

I have too many roosters and need to thin out my flock. They are all large fowl ranging from 4-9 months. Right now I have about 11-13 roosters that need to go. There may be more as some of the 4 months old are still debatable if they are hens or roosters! I'm going to keep 1 or 2, but that's...

Quote: Wanted to also add that I did not get them from a "hatchery" but from a local farmer. I guess you could call him a hatchery because he is definitely not a breeder. My understand is that he has 1000s of chickens for eggs to sell and incubates some to sell locally. I've purchased all...

Question for Quote: Good morning! Illia was nice enough to respond to my post that I have Production Reds, which is fine with me. However, you state they are only breed to produce eggs. What would classify a bird as a multi-purpose (eggs and meat) bird? I'll take a few updated pics of...

Quote: Shucks! That really stinks! That pic was taken a few months ago when they were about 4 months. They are lighter than the pics I have seen, but my roosters and not skinny any more, by no means! I call them PIGS instead of Chickens! LOL! I'll have to stop by that farmers market...

Thanks Linda! I'll check out your website and get back with you!

I'm looking for black orps, splash orps and EE to add to my flock. Oh, and my 14 year old wants some Polish as she "loves their hair dos". I live in Westover, MD 21871 (lower eastern shore). I would prefer day old or young chicks as I have not tried my hand at hatching yet, but will be...

I was told when I purchased my first chickens in April (they were 4 week old at the time) from a local farmers market, I was told that they were RIRs. My roosters are not as dark as the pic someone posted of a TRUE RIR, and my hens are definitely a lot lighter! What do you think? Are they...

Quote: Is there anyone close that you could get a RIR rooster? Black Stars are a hybrid of a red (usually RIR or NH) rooster & Barred Rock hen. If you can get your hands on a rooster, you could breed a few of your own. On another note, I will be offering Black Stars & Rhode Island Reds, but...

Quote: I am interested in this answer too. I didn't realized you needed to be certified if you are just selling some here and there and not a large operation??? x2! I live in Maryland and am waiting to hear back from the MDA on whether or not I need to register to sell eggs to the public...

First...I want to say I am so glad to hear that many of you are starting to get eggs again! 3 Friday, 4 yesterday, 2 so far today (will check again in a little while).... out of 9 laying hens (I think) Wahoo! I have 3 RIR that have been laying since July, 3 BR & 3 Red Stars that I have been...
