I don't understand why folks wait til spring. I got chicks now and they'll be laying in early spring when the TSC chicks won't be til fall.

Iv'e got three frizzles that I offered one free with the purchase of 4 EE chicks, but no takers.. The mom is a bantam frz/cm marans cross and lays dark eggs. These are hers and a Del cross. So I expect them to be larger than she is. She's medium size.

most people already have laying chickens and wait till spring for easy brooding to replace hens in fall. my ducks /chickens lay all winter so early eggs do not matter to me much. i am getting an early start this year on ducks and chicks. but mostly cause i'm laid off and bored. other wise i would wait till spring.

If your talking to me, I live just off the rt 481 exit for Kirkville Rd.

I understand the fall processing time but I kinda thought at this time they'd be ready to lay by May or June and the roos would be ready to process come Sept. if not sooner. The EE's are crossed with my Delaware and I expect they'd lay a olive colored egg but no one seems to know.

I was offering the Frizzles free with the puchase of 4 ee's for $12 but I'm always open to dickering or trade. I've got 21 chicks in the brooder and that's not including some older Dels roos. I have about 11 Del pullets that I'm keeping to replace 2008's hatchery birds. Plus I have plans to go to Hinkjc's for 8 orps.

I also have some Del chicks with the Ee's and frz's if you'd like some of those.

I expect some folks might like to wait til they are sexed, but then I'd need to ask more. It's not so much for the chicks it's the feed that I use and my time.

Gotta go

i was just interested in your frizzles. i can trade crested fawn and white runner eggs or cuckoo maran eggs
when did the frizzles hatch? i am busy this weekend. i am available next sat and sun.

i am intersted in momma too if you want too? did she brood them herself?
does she show frizzle or just carry it?

i also have a pair of black silkies that are 10 months old pet quality they are nice black silkies just seem boring to me
if you didn't want eggs for trade.
