i had a nice little young flock of chicks, baby pheasants and baby quail. all lived happily together in my brooder for weeks. then the pheasants got nutty and killed all of the chicks and quail for me. so, i managed to get a few more baby chickens and more quail eggs. the quail are due to hatch this weekend and the baby chickens were in my brooder. nine of them. yesterday we had a storm the likes of a tropical storm here. the rain blew sideways and right into my brooder. all of the chicks got soaked and chilled and died except one. so i've got one baby chick now. i would like to end up with 3-4 hens for eggs. my luck, the one i have will be a male...anyway, can someone sell me about 1/2 dozen eggs to hatch? i'm not partial to breeds, just good egg layers. a nice mix would be wonderful. i would like one barred rock if i can get one but any barnyard mix will be great. and with the money i've already lost, the cheaper, the better!
