Hi everyone,

I have been raising chickens since last spring, just for eggs. But then I was captivated by the animals themselves. Their personalities are wonderful! I have a few barred rocks and several golden buffs (GREAT egg layers), and a couple of mystery hens. Recently, I bought lots of day-old guinea keets, and they are sure fun to watch. All feed store/hatchery birds, nothing fancy.

Sometime soon, I will be looking for a few black copper marans and ameraucanas, dark chocolate and blue egg layers to complement my pink and brown eggs. I also have a fondness for Wellsummers and Delawares. I welcome recommendations for breeders and hatcheries.

Sincerely,
Bekka

Welcome to BYC - hope you enjoy being a member.

Just saw a post from cypressdrake on thread "Newby to the Group" who sells marans - not sure where you are but she / he is in louisiana and is currently online!

Good luck

Thanks, CT! I should've said I'm in Central California.

You are most welcome. Maybe if you go to the "Where are you?" threads you may find other BYC members in your area who may be able to point in the right / closer direction for the breeds you are after.
 
Hi Bekka, welcome to BYC!

I hope you find the additional birds for your flock. It's nice having a pretty egg basket, I'd like to add a couple other colors myself.

Once you have 20 posts you can use the buy-sell-trade feature of BYC and you might be able to pick up some of the breeds you're interested in. Good luck.
