I have Black Copper Marans (I also have a splash rooster so I can hatch blue copper Marans), Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, Langshans, Barnevelders, Sulmtalers, Bielfelders, Silkies and barnyard mix (Barnyard has all of these and Light Brahma, Buff Orpington, Lavender Orpington, Large Fowl Cochin, Isbar, Bresse, Birchen Marans, 2 Guineas and a Red Bourbon turkey). They are all together right now. But if someone wanted eggs or chicks, I would seperate them for a few weeks first. The BCM and EE are laying now. The Legbars and Langshans, maybe another month or two, the rest maybe April. They are from good breeders but I am calling them pet quality. They may hatch much better quality (Sulmaters, Bielfelders, Barnevelders and some Marans are from Greenfire) but I don't want to make any promises. I love my chickens. They are pets to me. I am not planning to turn it into serious income or a job but I know how hard it is to find some breeds around here. I will sell eggs or chicks or trade. You can come see what I have and their temperament. Or if you just wanted to talk about chickens. Hatching your own is so much more fun. You can build your own incubator.Hey everyone! Central AL here.
I've looked around for a few days but have finally joined BYC todayI don't currently have any chickens, or a coop, but I hope to remedy the coop part soon in time for some spring chickens! I'm hoping to get some local rather than mail order. I haven't settled on what breeds I want yet but they will mostly be for eggs and I want a nice/docile breed because I have small children. We have a shed the previous owner built himself over a decade ago that I might make into a coop with a run on the back.
