Also... I wanted to add some more information about what we might be able to bring.... Can't sleep anyway.
Keep in mind we raise and cull all our birds with health, productivity and friendliness in mind. We do not keep especially flighty hens (and aggressive roos are NOT tolerated) in any of the breeding pens.
Dominique Hatching Eggs, Chicks.
>> An excellent dual purpose, friendly, good foraging breed. Fantastic for those looking to be more self-sustainable, our Doms have better feed conversion for eggs and meat. We have had a few nice birds but this is still very much a project line.
Ameraucana Hatching Eggs, Chicks, SQ lines.
>> These chicks will be a very nice black rooster over some nice black hens and a few very nice blue pullets. All are actual Americaunas, laying bright blue eggs.
Orpington Hatching Eggs, BBS SQ lines.
>> A VERY dark Blue rooster over some black, blue and splash hens. We also have a young blue cockerel that may get his own small pen of ladies. Very big, beautiful birds, very calm and sweet and an excellent backyard bird or for showman.
Marans Hatching Eggs, Wheaten and Blue Wheaten.
>> Very limited numbers. We are down to just one purebred Marans hen, so we will probably only be able to bring 6-8 eggs from her.
Japanese Hatching Eggs, Chicks. Blues and Blacks.
>> From Rhonda's son's breeding animals. SQ Blue rooster over SQ black hens, will also have other color combinations (not show quality). Japanese have been bred for centuries to be very sweet. They are AWESOME kid 4H birds. Very calm, need very little handling to tame down. Super light weight yet vigorous and healthy.
Bantam Rose Comb Rhode Island Red Hatching Eggs, Chicks, from show lines.
>> These birds are very sweet and great with the kids as well. Also, the rose comb is a bit more cold hardy than the single comb and still very cute. These are true quality dark dark birds, very stunning and sweet.
Mixed bantams - RC RIR, Mille Fleur Cochin, Americauna, Japanese in the pen, hatching eggs and maybe chicks.
>> From my nieces' mixed flock of bantams. You will get wonderful color and form combinations!
75% Ameraucana EE Hatching Eggs, Chicks. Sex-Linked!*
>> This is a second generation of blue cuckoo easter eggers. Boys will be barred, females solid. 50% blue, 50% black, the Americauna in these birds are show quality animals, true Americauna lines. We are also careful about culling for health and productivity, so these should all be good producing birds with great personalities.
75% Marans Hatching Eggs, possibly some Chicks.
>> These have been crossed out for better production, but will still have much darker than average eggs. 1/4 Australorp - the first generation females are big, beautiful and productive. First generation birds have dark brown eggs with very dark chocolate spots, we are expecting more spots from the 2nd generation and maybe 20% of the egg in dark dark brown. The two huge roosters we had at the fall swap (blue wheaten-ish) were from this cross.
2nd Generation "Walrus" Hatching Eggs, Chicks. 75% SQ Orpington. Sex-Linked!*
>> Very healthy, fast growing and big birds. Excellent backyard birds, yard ornaments, good egg and meat bird.
Black Sex-Link Hatching Eggs, possibly some Chicks.
>> Dominique X Rhode Island Red crosses. Cold hardy, good foragers, excellent producers and good meat birds! A great dual purpose cross.
