Good morning everyone, and welcome new folks! I am interested in getting some basque chickens because I hear and read they lay some pretty large eggs! Does anyone around here sell pure Euskal Oiloa Marraduna chickens or hatching eggs? Thanks!
Hi Laura! Where are you located in NC? I live in Aberdeen and have experienced my own children being amazed at the process of hatching chicks. If you are nearby I wouldn't mind helping ya out. But I don't have my chickens separated so you would be hatching surprise chickens. I have white, light...
Welcome everyone to BYC! Watchout, this site is addicting :/ haha
I've been having such good luck from this forum for finding beauties for our backyard flock, I'm so excited :D I LOVE MY CHICKENS!!!
Now to feed my addiction... I'm looking for something gold laced!!! I didn't think I liked the...
Ohhhhh yes!! I'd love some! Are some of the French (with feathered feet)?! I love feather foots haha. My favs are Cochins but I seem to have 2-3 broody all the time haha! At least they will make hatching the maran eggs easier!! :)
Anyone in NC have splash australorps?? Saw a guys selling hatching eggs in another state in Buy/Sell/trade, but I'd prefer not to have shipped eggs this year. They look sooo pretty!! A splash anything would be nice to add to my flock of ladies!! Something with a good size egg though, no bantams :)
Oh my goodness you do have a lot!! Are you selling anything rt now or just waiting until chicks get here? I'm out in Raeford now so I'm out and about if you are lol.
Haha I read your past customers response first re: the splash! That'd be great to have the splash and just the reg blue laced red running around too!! Let me know when they are ready and maybe I can get a couple pullets? Do you have other breeds? I love having all different kinds running around...
I'd love to get a couple splash blue laced red, they sound gorgeous!! Let me know when you get up and running and start hatching and I'd drive out to you to pick up a couple pullets!!
Oh no, I meant I am in Aberdeen... She was all the way out in Mocksville NC! It was a drive for me getting out there. Idk if it will be closer for you. Yes she has a thread called Marsha's silkies in the buy sell trade forum I believe too. And if I remember rt you can see pics of her birds.
I got mine through Marsha Tutterow last year, she's here on BYC. I'm in Aberdeen and it was a drive, but very nice birds and knowledgeable breeder! Has tons of different colors too.
Oh that's horrible :( I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure she had a wonderful life with you. That is the part of having chickens that I dread most. Goodbyes are hard.
Yes!!! I can do a hour and a half easy!! I went over 2 hours away for silkie eggs last year lol!! Do you hatch the eggs yourself or would this be for only eggs? And lmk what your asking for as well! Feel free to PM me with more info :)
Hey Alex1010, where are you! Maybe I can do the drive?? I'd prefer to drive than to try eggs again. Unless I try to have my broody girl do them for me! Haha. But let me know :)
They are so cute!! We have 3 and they are my little girls favorite! She named them puffy, poofy and then Mr. Fluff who is a partridge frizzled silkie. Sweet chickens.
Anyone near Aberdeen have English orpingtons? Tried hatching some last spring from shipped eggs but didn't get any chicks. Would prefer pullets. Doesn't matter color, I'm not breeding just adding to my backyard layer flock. Thanks!
In all honesty I couldn't tell you... Other than they are tasty :) All my chickens run together as I don't breed. I leave that to you professionals. :) I have two barnvelder hens but no one is separated and we gather an assorted color of eggs everyday. Beautiful feathers though! I got the...
Hi all! If anyone is near Aberdeen and needs a rooster I have some! All about 8-9 months old and I hatched them ourselves. between me and the kids we have been around them everyday. So no attackers in the bunch! Hatching eggs were purchased on here, Facebook or Ebay, $10.
