I just saw that you can order sexed Welsummers on www.darkeggs.com, as well as many other breeds. But the minimum order is 25 chicks. Would anyone else be interested in ordering any of the following breeds? We're in South Portland Maine, so obviously the closer the better....

Welsumer
Barnevelder
Black-Breasted REd Cubalayas
Black Shamos
Buff Chanteclers
Cuckoo Marans
Dark Aseels
Iowa Blues
Mottled Javas
New Hampshires
Partridge Chantelclers
Red Shouldered Yokohamas
Saipan Jungle Fowl
Spangled Russian Orloffs
White Giants
Jersey Giants
Dominiques
Delawares
RIR
Barred Rocks
BO

a few are straight run only but many of these can be ordered sexed......

Let us know if anyone is interested!!!

wish you were closer to me Cuz i would have done it
 
Oh, really? So he doesn't hatch them himself? Or do you mean his original parent stock was from Ideal?

In any case- probably a mute point as I'd need several others to go in on this with me.

Sigh- SOMEDAY when I move and can have more than 6 hens, I'll be able to get good brown layers from one of you who breed them.......
 
I am in the same boat- I just am allowed to have 2 hens this year (to replace the 2 that died last year). I'd love two NH Reds. Unfortunately, Vermont and Maine are two of the most "you can't get there from here" places up here.

It would probably take us half a day to drive to wherever you are:eek:
 
Hi Valmom,

Well I'm in southern Maine.... POrtland.... which is 1 hour from Portsmouth NH right on I-95.

But it's still a haul I'm sure. PLus, since I would only beordering 2 or 3 chicks, and you only need a couple, we'd need to get a whole lot more people in on this to make the 25 minimum!

Oh, well..... it was worth a try! I'll keep watching this post and maybe we'll get enough. If we got a bunch of folks from around the same area I would be willing to partway to meet.

Sorry SeaChick, I could have helped you out but I just ordered my new chicks last week. (Five varieties of Plymouth Rocks) We could have made a deal too because I go through Portland quite often on the way to and from Scarborough Downs.

What you need to do is find someone nearby who wants 25 but could spare a few.
 
at meyer hatchery you can order as few as 3 chicks it cost's more though but they do have sexed wellsummer's and maran's.

good luck
Henry
 
What a great idea!!!!
Anyone in Upstate New York interested in splitting an order from Sandhill Preservation Center??
I'll pay all the shipping.
 
Thanks, hcammack, for that tip. I'll search BYC and see if anyone has any Welsummers or Marans from Meyer. It will cost me $20 small-order fee plus $13.00 shipping, I guess like Mypetchicken,com....... we'll have to decide if its worth it. Those would be some expensive chicks!
