Yikes! Alright, two strikes is enough for me to swap to Meyer and McMurray instead lol. Thank you for the advice! I wanted their Noir Marans for the dark brown eggs, but I can live without if it means I’ll end up with a bonus roo not of my choosing!
I actually think the BCMs are pretty cheap at Meyer. I want mcmuarry too but the minimum is six where Meyer is three.
The BCM and blue cuckoo are 9.75 and the cuckoo’s are 6.00. I paid 17 something for my splash Marian’s from my healthy
No offense, but it seems like you are making the chicken version of London and look how that is working out.
Whatever you may decide to do, I hope your flock is well!I’ll definitely research more about the different hatcheries, thank you for the recommendations! Had no idea Murray McMurray had better quality than the others. I just purchased based on star rating on google, distance from my home and available breeds (in that order). It was before I found this forum, of course.
I’m sorry to hear having just one of each breed didn’t work for you. I’m honestly terrified of losing any birds, though I know it’s naïve in the extreme to think they’ll all live their full lives and die peacefully. I think I’ll still try to get individual breeds this go around and just hope for the best, though I may regret not trying to profit from your good advice. There are just too many breeds I’m excited to raise!
Btw, sorry to OP for chatting about my flock (or potential flock) in your thread!
You would have fallen over, once this season I went into TSC and they had Bielefelder chicks on $1 clearance!!!
I never knew Tractor Supply had a rare breed like the Bielefelder! I wouldn't trust them from my constant bad experiences, though. All of their birds are of poor quality and the employees know practically nothing about chickens.You would have fallen over, once this season I went into TSC and they had Bielefelder chicks on $1 clearance!!!
I don’t think Hoovers dose either. My OE from them lays brown eggs.
