They sound pretty amazing. Would you ever consider selling them? I can't take on new birds right now... but I can always hope!

Are you talking to me? I have 13 chicks right now & can only keep 2 more hens so if anyone wants any just let me know & I would totally sell some in a few weeks. The ones I have indoors are the friendliest chicks I have ever seen. They actually prefer to eat out of our hands. The chicks we had in the past would get scared when we reached into the brooder, but these ones actually dash over immediately and jump on my hand; it's crazy!

What do you have?

What do you have?

I have 9 EEs (6 blue, 2 chocolate, 1 black), 3 Orpingtons (2 black, 1 splash), and 1 Orpington/Marans cross. Some of the blue EEs are going to be frizzled. I have a feeling that the splash Orpington is going to be a cockerel based on size and confident behavior.

I could probably uses some more EE's if they lay blue I have a cream legbar roo coverning 2 EE's now that lay blue but the only chicks from them have been boys.

The website says, "Most of them lay blue," but who knows. Hopefully I get a lot of girls.

Id leave the splint on for 2-3 days.

Thanks for the help; the splint is off and the chick is doing great!

Great, so how many of the eggs hatched? Just four?

Yes, four hatched. 3 EE's and 1 Marans. The 2 brown EE's are super cute. I saw they are selling chocolate EE's on My Pet Chicken for $40! Maybe it is a rare color.

Is there anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area teaching a class on how to raise chickens?
