EEEEPPP! I have been looking everywhere for JG's!! I finally broke down and ordered a couple from the feed store that we just picked up today

They are cuties right now, but I really had wanted some good, big local jerseys for my flock....well.....I WAS planning on doing one more hatch at the end of June.....I guess if I snuck a few JG eggs in it would hurt too much.....

Paris Farmers Union? I know that they were getting their orders in today... If so, where are you located? We may be pretty close! Oh, and if they are from PFU they should be good quality (not SQ, but good for HQ), I don't think that you will be disappointed. And yes, a few more wouldn't hurt... (yes, I am an enabler!)

Yes, PFU in Bridgton! The little guys are adorable and best of all if that their markings are just distinct enough that I can tell the 2 of them apart

Hey all!

I'm a newbie looking for a half dozen hen chicks or young pullets. I'll be at the swap and following this thread to see what becomes available.

Thanks!

Welcome from a nearby newby!

I just picked up 1/3 of my order of chicks from a store-- the other 2/3 didn't ship, and OH MY how cute! Please, don't anyone enable me. I'm like a new mom. What's SQ/HQ?

I could certainly bring some JG's hatching eggs to the swap for you if you have an incubator.

Nice! I use the Turner one. But I know people over near Bridgton!

What's SQ/HQ?

SQ is Show Quality, and HQ is Hatchery Quality. Oh, and some people use PQ (pet quality).
