Black Copper Marans, Olive Egger, and... ?

[Three Little Bunnies]

Hi!

I would like to expand my flock(s) to twenty birds at some point. I currently have seventeen birds. Does anyone know where I could get a Marans? I am thinking Black Copper since I have heard that they lay the darkest eggs. I would also like an Olive Egger and one other breed that lays non-standard colored eggs, or that is rare. I am thinking Ayam Cemani? I have an Americana already.

I would like to get birds from a NPIP-certified farm/hatchery. I would like the new birds to be started pullets. I do not mind if they are shipped. Anybody have any places to recommend?

McMurray Hatchery and Cackle Hatchery have some started pullets. I have previously bought day-old chicks from both of them (yes, I was satisfied with both), but I have no personal experience with their started pullets.

I have a chance to get some BLACK COPPER MARAN. I just did some research and they are rare and duel purpose. The eggs are vary beautiful! I would like to get a Easter egg layer. Love them colors

May I ask how BCM are rare? I'm a newbie and curious.

Ok! I was curious cause I think I ended up with 3 of them instead of Australorps

Ohh i see. We don't have hatchery around here unless you are a farmer that sells chickens so maybe it depends on where you live? I don't know hmmm
