I will give you some resources.... I know some breeders, if you are looking for something special.

In Alachua, try CPARTIST. She has Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, Welsummers, Black Copper Marans, Delawares, Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas.

In Highsprings, try HighSpringsChix, she has Delawares.

I'm further from you, but I have Delawares, Speckled Sussex, and Buff Leghorns. I have Marans too, but they are not laying right now.

Hi math ace! I am the one who has been emailing you since August about your buff leghorns

My reds have been laying eggs for some time now and I have one broody sitting on about 20 eggs that should start hatching anytime now. I'm curious to see how they do in our Central Florida winter.

Pretty picture. I look faithfully every am for the first egg.

We put a light in their. With 40-60 watts. We are currently trying to incubate 10 eggs, we don't have any broody chickens yet. But hopefully we hatch some good ones. All of our chickens are gorgeous though. If you want to add a couple to your mix just let me know.

Thanks for the offer. I think the light would be good idea in the future for us.

Good to see you on BYC

How far are you from Alachua? CPARTIST has a lot of variety. Her Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are Gorgeous. . .If I wasn't maxed out already, I would add her BLRW to my stock. Her Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas are where my stock comes from. Those girls are more like cats than chickens. They are super friendly. The boys are gorgeous too.


I don't think your Broody can wait until you and I can meet up... She will need chicks sooner rather than later...

 

[Sahwithchicks]

I am going to send her a message, thank you. I actually think I may have talked to her through CL about hatching eggs in like September, the type of birds she has sounds familiar, I just never worked out a good time to meet with her. I will give it a try.
My broody is on maybe day 5... If I where to pick up eggs after Christmas, would she still be happy with them?

I am in east Central FL near Port Orange. We have a facebook group Chicken Enthusiasts in and around Volusia County. I started with chickens that a friend gave us a couple years ago but I didn't really get addicted til last spring when we ordered a dozen chicks from My Pet Chicken. I started learning about all the different breeds and quickly became fascinated. I especially like Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers. I have a friend who is even more addictied than I am and purchased a huge incubator. She has been hatching eggs for me so I have lots of chicks. I also had a banty go broody and she hatched some chicks too. I recently drove all the way ot Alachua to get a blue/wheaten Ameraucana rooster and two BLRW hens from Cpartist. It was an almost 6 hour round trip for me. Yeah, I think I am addicted.
