I live in New York, so cold hardy is almost a must for our flock. I joined BYC specifically in hopes that one of the many wonderful keepers here might be working on just the breed/mix I'm looking for! I'm looking for hatching eggs that are cold hardy and also colorful (blue, green, pink/cream, chocolate, or white, as all our current lays only lay brown!)
I don't mind mixes - we love mixes! However, I did have some breeds in mind that I've heard are cold hardy. Some of them are rarer and some of them I know are incredible longshots, but hey, you never know, right?
A good chicken is a good chicken, though! If you've got a flock of even just plan ol buff or black chickens that lay colorful eggs from a few generations of breeding, that's fine by me!
If you think you might have some hatching eggs that match any of that, I'd be super interested to chat with you about buying some to ship! This will be my first time incubating eggs, so full disclosure I'll likely have lots of questions for you!
Thanks for your time!
