Is there anyone near the Fort Smith, AR area with Dominique or Swedish Flower Hen chicks available? I ended up with only a handful of pullets from my last straight runs and would really like more before it starts cooling down! I'll drive a reasonable distance. If you have neither of those breeds... What DO you have? I'm a victim of chicken math and am open to adding more variety! :p

Thanks!

I have some Silver Phoenix hens, pullets, a cock and a cockerel. PM if you might be interested. I am very close by. This was from the spring.

Phoenix tails are just SO pretty! I've heard they can be flighty and pretty standoffish. How are your birds? I have two kiddos who adore our chickens so handling them is a must :) We've only had experience with the super friendly, cuddle-raised flock we have. A bit spoiled, but lots of fun.

They do fly! They are not big fans of being caught/touched but one girl insists on flying up and landing on my back or lap occasionally while I am trying to do chores. They are very docile once you have them caught, they don't really struggle or freak out but they have not been the snuggliest breed we have. Great broodies and free range birds. They mix well with other breeds too.

If you hatch, I am still getting some eggs from my blue, black ameraucanas. I also have a few of the blue wheaten, wheaten ameraucana variety.

I know you're not really asking me, but I'm setting some tomorrow. I need three more that I'll collect tomorrow and make the total at 200.

I'll have some Easter Eggers too, but most of them will be Naked Necks. I have a cross from Naked Necks and Easter Eggers. I have two NN hens that are laying green eggs and them I have three hens mated to an Araucana rooster for more Green Egger Naked Necks.

I've been thinking about adding some nice EE and Olive Egger pullets to add some fun color to eggs.
