I am in idaho and I am looking for really any color. I am interested in blue dun looking birds, kind of looking at the lavenders for that but I am unsure what the roosters hackles neck and saddle feathers look like. Bared Rocks(grizzley) browns blacks and just nice birds for fly tying like the kind that whitting has created. If you have something let me know what you have. I am looking to hatch them. Or buy some birds it really doesnt matter.

Those Fly Tyer's special are just leftover cockerels.

Theriault Flies is the only fly tyer breeder with hatching eggs or anything for sale. I'm going to post pictures later of my year old stock but here's his website http://www.theriaultflies.com/chickenhackle.html

He's great to work with and I have had awesome hatching results.

Awesome this is exactly what I was looking for I have emailed him a few times and we are in contact about some eggs around the end of this month. I hope to get some soon. I would be very interested in seeing what you have and your birds that you have. Also I would be interested in know what the hatch rate you had with the eggs. Please post some pictures as soon as possible so I can make plans. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you and seeing pictures.
