I think Happy Chooks is in the Sac area, she has a Welsummer roo, so she might have some pure Wellie eggs if you wanted to try and hatch some of them. Also, there's a breeder in Concord that has Light Sussex and Barnevelders.

I checked with Happy Chooks & she has some eggs, but they're mostly olive eggers or EE mixes... I am going to wait to see what color egg my olive-egger pullet produces before I try for another one. My girl came from one of Wynette's eggs (although gryeyes hatched out the eggs, and I acquired the pullet from her).

We lost a RIR recently, so now we need another large brown egg-layer so we might just hatch out a couple of RIRs and hope at least one is a pullet (any roos will end up either rehomed or turned into dinner).

If this goes well, we are hoping to acquire another eggie or two at the Stockton event in January! I am sooooo looking foward to that!

I'm hatching Partridge Plymouth Rocks & & Indian River eggs(del roo on new hampshire) large birds-look like delawares but mature fast, lay at 16-18 weeks I've been told. I'm also hatching heritage buckeyes PLUS whatever kathyinMO is sending me!!! ..surprise.

They will be 1 1/2 weeks old at the time of the stockton show, let me know if you need some

Cheryl, to be honest with you, I would REALLY love one of those wheaten marans if you have any left or if you hatch out any more between now and then! We have a light brahma & I'm falling in love with the feather-legged breeds (it's only a matter of time before there are bantam cochins in the yard....)

Edited to note that I quoted the wrong message... because it's Christmas Eve & I've been working all day and slightly distracted LOL... I meant to quote message #1064... ugh.

Jeremy I'm so stinkin mad right now..."supposedly" Your chicks the girl and mine is the boy.....not even sure what to do with that now

 

[jeremy]

Melina, I know... I've read the posts, lol. I'm sorry! If you want, towards the fall of 2011 I will have my own Marans available for sale. I could raise a pullet for you.

I've had incredible luck this year with getting pullets!

ETA: Maybe she's just a dark little girl,

Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Yule. May the increasing light bring increasing love and prosperity to you all! And may all your chicks be pullets (unless you really *want* a roo!)
