Have you checked withSo that's why people get chicken saddles, I'm so silly, I actually thought it was some sort of fancy way to ID your chickens.
Thank you for this, I've decided to get some barred Plymouth rocks, I FOUND A SOURCE! and do some more research on barnevelders.
I can get 3 pullets for 100$, or straight run chicks for 40$ each or fertilized eggs for 15$ each from a very good heritage breeder or get hatchery birds from another source for 22$ each, so still deciding.
I'm worried about spending a lot of money straight away and having something go wrong with my set up, so I may test with the BPR and see how I do.

She has pics of her flock on this thread and they are gorgeous. You will find their pricing to be very good as well compared to fertilized egg pricing you are getting.
