Hi guys.
Wanted to add my name! I'm in Central FL, in Debary.
I currently have no chickens.
However I am hoping to change that!
The fiancee agreed to 6 chickens! YAY! I'm in the market for very friendly chickens who are great layers and a colorful egg basket is important to me. The longer they lay the better, because they will be cherished pets and will be taken care of whether they earn their keep or not. XD
Here are my wants:
EE's or Ameraucanas (would prefer the Amers just because I'd like REALLY blue eggs)
Wyandottes - gold laced/silver laced/blue laced-red
Black Copper Marans (for a very dark brown egg)
Welsummers (if I can't get marans)
Some kind of olive egger - I wish I had a lot more space - I'd make my own breeding flocks and play god with genetics! XD
What variety of chicken lays the really speckled eggs? I'd like one of those but I have no idea which one it is!
I can't have roosters where I live so I need female chicks. I want them vaccinated for Mareks. I'd love to buy from a local breeder and get really nice birds and support the area, plus it is always nice to make a friend!
Can anyone reccommend anyone? I know
http://www.paulspoultry.com/ has the Wyandottes, what about the Ameraus and the others? Let me know, I'm just dying to get some chicks!
