I have personally bought chicks from Suzanne in Portland. I have 2 of her Mille Fleur Leghorns. They are hens now and lay a medium sized cream colored egg. Very pretty feather pattern. She is definitely legit and a good chicken lady to buy from. I buy my non GMO feed from her too. I also have 2 of her Black Copper Marans that are now 2 year old hens. They lay a nice, dark egg. Her Wheaten Ameraucana lines weren't true Ameraucanas though, but she may have a different rooster by now. Her rooster was not to breed standard,when I bought chicks and hatching eggs from her. And now she has true Lavender Ameraucanas from Paul Smiths lines.She is a very friendly and reputable person.
Oh thank you very much! This is exactly what I was looking for! I figured that if she has that many ads, there has got to be some kind of overlap between here and craigslist.
This is very encouraging. Suzanne and I emailed back and forth a bit, and we left it that I would try somewhere closer to home for my first time ever buying shipped eggs. (And a cheaper breed to practice with.) When I am ready to be serious about the Mille Fleur Leghorns, I will be glad to contact her again.
Thank you Renee!
