This listing is for a total of FOURTEEN one day-old chicks. We have always shipped a minimum of 20 chicks but have had so many requests to ship less that we thought we'd do a trial run now that it has warmed up.
This is a short auction because these babies are hatching TODAY, MONDAY, APRIL 25! I ship via USPS expedited services so the chicks will arrive within 1-2 mornings later depending on your location.
You will receive 7 each of two different breeds, Black Copper Marans and Ameraucanas. (In the event that the hatch does not turn out as expected, we reserve the right to substitute one breed for the other)
Our Black Copper Marans are of the Wade Jean C1 bloodlines which yield the nice terra cotta colored eggs. Our flock is closed, so these birds have not been exposed to any other Marans bloodlines. Some of our eggs are solid, some appear to be "painted," and some are speckled.
This stock truly has a gentle temperament. My kids can even handle the roosters.
Feathering on the shanks meets the French Standard, not too heavy, not light, but moderate. Perfect for a breeding program, personal pets, and to add those beautiful and SUPER FUN dark shades to your egg basket! The kids will LOVE them!
Our Ameraucanas are beautiful birds from a wonderful backyard chickens member. (Pips & Peeps) These birds are so healthy and have the best temperment of ANY birds we've ever had. The chicks from this hatch are the offspring of a wheaten roo over wheaten and blue wheaten hens and also black hens. Not sure what will hatch, but it will be a mixture of them. Our wheaten hens lay a light powder blue egg, while the black hens lay a sea green egg. The color is the best I've seen in this breed and I'm sure you will be pleased. The rooster's legs are willow, not slate, so these chicks will not be show quality but are perfect for anyone wanting to add some great COLOR to their egg basket.
Our flock has been tested and approved by the Texas Pullorum-Typhoid Program. As required by law, I will provide you with a copy of this report.
My shipping fees includes expedited shipping rates through the USPS (which usually delivers in a day but can take two days depending on your location) and the cost of the chick shipping box.
I accept payment via Paypal and will need a current confirmed address as well as a phone number for the post office to call you at when the chicks arrive. The chicks will be HELD AT THE POST OFFICE for you to come pick up so that they do not have to spend several more hours in transit on a mail truck.
I have included photos of my actual birds and eggs so that you can see how beautiful and healthy they are.

Even though the flash washes the eggs out in this one, I included it because it really shows the variety of design we get from our BC Marans. Also, it reminds buyers that these hens' laying cycles determine how dark their eggs are. We get both really dark and much lighter eggs daily, depending on the individual hen, how old she is, and what season it is.

Please contact me with any questions. First come, first served. Once these sell, anyone else interested can be put on a waiting list. Our May 4 and May 15 hatches are already sold out.
Thanks!
