Are you looking for chicks or full grown? I have a pair of black OEGB's that were shown. They are from a 07 hatch. Along with two blue OEGB hens for sale. Or if you are looking for chicks Ideal hatchery has a ton of OEGBs in every color just about.

umm, nothing to say right now except this.



While my wife and I were on one of our trips our mail lady was feeding out two chickens. These two chickens managed to miss the relocation to my niece's house.

Mail lady calls us up and says that the hen is sitting in the box and is being mean. She got a piece of wood and lifted the hen up and saw an egg and wanted to know what to do. I said just let her go. If the eggs don't hatch then no big deal.

A day or two later she calls again all excited. I'm a chick grandma she told us. When we got home we had three chickens instead of two. Yep, the hen sat on one egg and hatched it.

We now have a healthy little peeper running all around and thriving.

Yay for broody hens.
