silkies, are by far best with kids or any one, but they aint layers, more like pets. LC orps has some realy nice blue orps. got my rooster from them & he is a very nice bird.
Thanks for the quick reply Jeremy! Will you let me know when you have some americauna pullets? I can't take the chance with a roo.....my neighbors will KILL me if they have to hear a boy crowing at 0'dark hundred....I can wait.....not patiently - but I can wait...

I sure will! I've got a group hatching next weekend, then it'll be about 3 weeks before I'm 100% sure of gender. If you can wait, I will certainly hold a pullet for you.

We are looking for Light Brahma, Sicilian Buttercup, Buff Orpington, Welsummer, and Barred Rock.
Concord Feed has LB, BO and several others. Don't know where you are - but you can check their website for updates. If you're coming from a distance call in advance as sometimes schedules get crazy or expected chicks don't hatch. Not sure if I'm allowed to post a website if not please let me know and I won't do it again it's www.concordfeed.com
The staff there is great and really helpful. As a note the store in Pleasant Hill has a much bigger supply of chicks than the store in Clayton.
OVmomma I am in Reno, about 2&1/2 hours from you. I don't have the breeds you mentioned but my black ameraucanas and my black copper marans are not in the least bit aggressive, though personalities do vary from bird to bird. I have EEs and black ameraucanas available now. Some are old enough to be sexed and some are still a little too young. I also have hatching eggs available. We pass through Sacramento often on our way to the Bay Area and it might be easier to just wait til we head that way again. I'm actually planning a trip soon so PM me if you want something already sexed, want hatching eggs (EEs and ameraucanas only, I have a few orders to fill for BCMs already right now) or something in between.
I am looking for some adolescent chicks of the light Sussex breed from a reputable breeder. Want ones that were vaccinated with Marecks when they were born. I'd like to get them at about 8 weeks old give or take so they can go out in the outdoor pen. I probably only want 2 maybe 3. I live outside of Jackson and in Amador County and I have a business outside of Placerville in El Dorado County. Would be convenient to go anywhere along the highway 50 corridor towards Sacramento.
