OK, I'm ready for chicks! The next hen that squaks at me when I'm collecting eggs gets to stay put!
Thank you for the info. These boys are not staying, they're from my true Ameraucana roo and one of my hens and they're going to be rehomed or dinner for someone. I still need to figure out which hen, but want to know what they have to offer because I think they're nice birds and hate to see them go on a dinner plate but I don't need another EE roo.

I got 6 Blue Marans from Jeff/Papabrooder and ended up losing all but 2 pullets (long story). I'll be using them and my Ameraucana roo for olive eggers but was hoping for a Blue Marans Roo to breed with my EE's and see what I got in the reverse. Isn't funny that when you want a cockerel you don't get one!

I'm trying to keep all this info offered here on BYC so that I can figure out what I'm doing

. I've been just letting broodies hatch and gathering information on who gives what. I've bred dogs and horses seriously but not chickens so I've just got my toes in the water. I've paid more attention to my Polish and just wanted color in my layer eggs but then I got into the Marans and that dang dark egg! Which way do I go, which way do I go....

I bet someone would take them if you offered them free on Craigslist. I find many people that buy hens from the feed stores up here quickly realize a rooster is very important up here with all the predators. I had probably a dozen seperate people come to get free roosters this year. Most of them where helping to protect free range flocks

Yeah, I'm thinking blue, which would go well with my pullet Drekkette.

Love her blue coloring, I'm a sucker for blue/gold birds

It also prevents frostbite. Roosters actually act prouder after being dubbed.

This picture, aha!

Love it!

I took a bunch of photos yesterday and thought I would share them. These pictures are of my "Pet" pen, an eclectic group of mis-matched chickens breeds and a few other random shots.

Olandsk Dwarf? Those are on my want list

Lucky you!

Chooklet has some for sale... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...pacific-poultry-breeders-show-1-25-1-27/0_100

Yes! We need to figure out what Kim wants with the Delawares and I will get something to make it to 25.

I want more black penedesenca. I can only get 10 it sounds like.

I'm flexible on the number. Will they put more than 25 in a box? Or do you have to order in sets of 25? Ron, did you have something that you wanted to order? How many did you want?
Maybe 10 or 12 for me? Would that work since Cooper is ordering 10?

Sounds good Kim!

I will get 5 La Feche, so that would leave 10 each for you and Jason. Is the price sheet up at Sand Hill yet?
