I have to begin to find homes for some of my chicks
They came from a small farm, not a hatchery, whose flocks are healthy, happy, and can free range as desired.
They are all 7-weeks old, and I have raised them since they were 4 days old. Hate to see them go. They have all been vaccinated for Mareks, and my adult flock of four hens appears to be disease free.
Is anyone interested in raising:
BBS Olive Eggers? I have some lovely, LARGE, blue and black pullets and cockerels from FBCM x BBS Ameraucana. I'd be able to put together a trio or a couple of Blue/Black pairs at least. Most have feathered legs (outside only a la FBCM), they are almost as large as the FBCM, but heavier bodied and with an Am head, cheeks, beards. They are healthy, and friendly. There are a couple of very handsome little roos, I hate to eat them, but if we can't find them homes...
Welsummers? I'll have a trio or one to two pairs of wellies. Also handsome and friendly. These displayed the eye-stripe sexing and I was able to tell pullets from roos from the day I got them at 4 days old. I tracked them until I was sure, the male combs showed a difference early on, and the timing of tail and back feathering also followed by sex.
I'll also have some BBS Ameraucanas. Also lovely and very sweet, another very handsome roo, but I'm not sure how many or what colors/sex yet.
If anyone is interested in any of the above, or an assorted roo or three or five (including a red splash Wyansummer/Wellandote), let me know.
Edited for clarification and vaccination info.
