At this point I will have:
started Easter egger chicks (1-2 months old)
maybe a German New Hampshire cockerel
3-10 day old olive egger, bantam easter egger and sex link Marans cross chicks, maybe some Marans chicks
whatever I am able to hatch from my shipped eggs, as well as whatever chicks I have received by that time.... at this point I have not had good hatches from shipped eggs, but very good hatches from my own eggs, and am waiting to hear from breeders on when the chicks will be shipped...

EE/OE, maybe Blue/black copper Marans and Ameracauna hatching eggs

I'm going to bring an assortment of started pullets unless I need them to fill current waiting list orders. I'm still growing out birds so I don't have an exact idea of how many I have. If I can't bring pullets, I'll bring an assortment of chicks and maybe some midget white turkey poults instead.

Yay!!! Lots of fun stuff!!

Because of a recent shipment of chicks I received, I will have LOTS of extra EE chicks, lol... they were used as "peanut packing" in the shipping box to keep the chicks I wanted warm, lol...

I have hatching on the 18th--Cuckoo marans, Barnevelders, Blue and Black Marans, Blue/Black/Splash Ameraucanas, Partridge Pendescencas, EE/Leghorn mixes, Olive Eggers from an Isbar rooster over FBCM hens, and a few other things that I have lost track of in my tired brain. I will bring whatever hatches and has not sold with me to chickenstock They will be about 2 weeks old by then...hopefully they will travel well.

If you end up with a splash ameraucana cockeral I might be interested in a trade of some sort. Maybe for an olive egger pullet? Oh, and yes, I still have you on my list for chicks. I'm just waiting for my blue wheaten ameraucana to start mating his hens again. I had to take out his marans girls. He took to favoring them and was ignoring his ameraucana girls. Soo.....I have had nadda in the wheaten/blue wheaten ameraucana department. Grrrrrrrr. I will have the btb for you, though.

Sounds good I look forward to the BTB for sure, and would still like one more OE, and the blue wheatens if you get them for sure. I just sold quite a few of my older hens to make room for the newbies. Will let you know if I get a splash male from this hatch. Should I just get the BTB at chickenstock or do you need me to come over to your place sooner? I can do whatever works best for you.
