Quote: If it would help, I'd love to be in on this. If not, that's OK but I've wanted the Penedesenca ever since Cooper12 pointed them out when I was looking for colored egg layers. Yes, I blame him!

I just checked the Sand Hill Poultry catalog, and it looks like they have removed the multiples of 25 for chicks from their requirements. If so, then you can get what is hatched for the breed you want. Kim wants Delawares, Jason wants Black Penes and I want La Fleche. That leaves Partridge Pennes and you can get up to 15 PP's per shipment.

Maybe Jason can check on the shipping numbers for us.

Sounds like fun!

Added: We still have to order at least 25, but we could order from 26 to 50 and are not required to go to 50 if we want more than 25. At least I hope so....

you guys are getting such fabulous breeds! i found raising baby chicks to be a huge headache, given my schedule & etc, but will hope that some of you end up with some extras once they're juveniles that you'll want to find homes for...

I can always order more if we need 50.

It seems like I have had some type of baby chick being hatched or raised for a year straight now.

I have always shared well with others....

I will let you know what I have to share later.

I have been getting an egg from my Basque pen that is very nice. The third of my Easter Hatch Pullets from last year is laying!

Wow!

WOW

That's an already colored and textured Easter Egg from an Easter hatch - so beautiful! Is it really pink with light pink dots? That is amazing coloration!

The girls gave me 11 eggs yesterday, from only 13 hens that lay a light brown egg! I wish my Welsummer would get back to laying, though. She is my favorite!

It is a brown egg with a coating that stays on after washing. I hope she keeps laying them like that!

Wow is right. I've never seen an egg quite like that before, congrats!

I have an order coming in March of 25 chicks from Sandhill (that I ordered last year and they could not fulfill). If anyone wants to squeeze chicks in on that order, we can see if they can accommodate. Probably unlikely but may be worth a shot.

Also, I am getting Noregian Jaerhons in that order that I no longer want. Happy to sell them at cost to anyone interested. I need to find the order, but if I am not mistaken I am getting (5) reg and (5) flame. I ordered them Jan 2012 so my memory is fuzzy. I did get a letter from SH in December saying that they would ship my order in March 2013. I just need to find where I put that letter. If anyone is interested in Jaerhons - PM me and I will give you details.
