I have Golden Cuckoo Marans under my broody right now. Obviously, it will be a while before they will be laying, but I will be needing to sell some of them when they get big enough to sex. They come from Melissa (in Texas). That is, if I get a good hatch rate.
I will keep you all posted.
There is a feed store in Phx that takes in chickens that need homes. It is The Feed Lot. You might call them and see what they have. They had an EE roo and two hens last time I was in there as well as some really beautiful bantams.
I wish I had room for some more chickens - I'd definitely buy some cuckoo marans chicks from you (would love to add some dark egg layers to our flock). Our 4 month old chickens haven't started laying yet, but we should have white, green, & brown eggs when they do. We have two barnevelders and I'd love it if they lay dark eggs, but from what I've heard, their eggs will probably not be that dark.
We currently have 11 pullets and will have to sell 2 or 3 to make room for some 2 month old black sexlink chicks that we are trying to integrate into the flock (loads of fun with our flock of chicken bullies). My coop & run are only big enough for 12 chickens at the max. The sexlinks are so much calmer and friendlier than our white leghorns & barnevelders that we are planning to trade a few out. The leghorns will come up to us treats, but if you try to pick them up - they're off. The sexlinks come right up to me and stand still for me to pick them up (probably because they think I'm their mama - I protect them from the others LOL)
The Feed Lot is where I found the two barnevlders as chicks. The Stock Shop & Pratt's Feed Store also occasionally have adult chickens for sale and The Stock Shop is where we got the rest of our chicks. I did see 3 RIR hens at The Stock Shop once, but usually they have roosters or baby chicks - I think hens or pullets are snatched up pretty quick.
