Thanks, I just went looking for a section called "farm and garden" on this forum. I have searched craigslist in the past and yes, it can be a great resource!

Thank you. I've not looked at the farm and garden section yet so I'll go there today and look around. don't know what CL section is but I guess it's where people advertise? I've seen that section and I didn't see people in my area which is north-east Florida. Thanks for the idea. And thank...

I had no idea that was possible. That's for this new info! And thanks to all of you for responding. Would it be possible, if paired properly, for Henrietta's offspring (hens) to lat blue or green eggs? If so what would be possible breeds for a rooster to mate her with?

Hen-rietta, I've been told, looks like an Easter Egger. However she lays light eggs, tan color. I got 3 hens from a couple that doesn't keep track of which hens are bred by which roosters. I do believe she's a mixed breed. She is all black with gold laced hackle, up through her neck, very...
