In that case....I'd be very interested in a cuckoo Marans or two!

I'll be sure to keep two reserved for you then.

Thank you! I'm rather fond of the Marans we have now! I was hoping to get a few at chickenstock!

Hi all, here from Lewiston/Youngstown area. I have 3 pearl white leghorns, almost 2 years old. I also just got 6 RIR chicks a couple weeks ago.

Recently I've been on here checking out new chick threads, and threads of people hatching eggs. Now I find myself looking how to build incubators and looking at different breeds.
My wife even asked me the other day if I was going to build a bigger coop.

Jim,
I started out two years ago with a small coop and 32 chicks, 25 freedom rangers for the freezer and 6 buff orpingtons to raise for layers. I currently have 4 turkeys, 10 layer hens and a rooster. This year I have about 300 chicks on order. These critters are like Pringles, once you start, you can't stop.

I have a good sized hatch due this week and had a buyer just back out please lmk if anyone is looking for some chicks these are all breeder/show quality potential chicks pm me for more info some of the eggs are from other BYCer's others from different breeders around the country. I also have a few older grow out chicks. Should have cream Legbars, Marans, orps, leghorns, SFH and possibly Russian Orloffs. As well as some pure Ameraucana. I'm located near Saratoga and offer local meet up. I should also have some for chickenstock that I could hold and bring then as well

I've built two incubators. The second was way better than the first. Let me know if you have any questions.

I haven't updated this in a year, but here's some notes.
