All chicks are for sale at this point. So you have 20+ to choose from & more hatching as I type. All are from my flock & are npip. I even have a few showgirls in that should be hatching any time.

Okay so I have some questions

rainbow layers----what does that mean...................I would imagine a variety of colors but is that across an assortment of chicks or one
particular chick? I kinda felt that each hen lays the same color.
npip---what does that mean................I kinda am guessing its a poultry certification of sorts.............



I really want little baby chicks yet I just HAVE to wait until end of winter and closer to spring.

I am trying to figure out how long I could keep them indoors and when in the spring they would be ready to go out and be old enough

safe etc. due to weather and all.

then I have to figure out what my coop plan is for the year..............by adding chicks..............I will likely need another coop OR a totally bigger one.........for everyone.........................I do not have any of this figured out..............and will likely be plotting and drawing up schemes on a cold snowy day when I don't have anything else to do!

Lol Chippy!

Brittany, if you want all 7 of the older ones I can do $32 for all of them. Otherwise they are $5 each. The littles are $3 each. They are unsexed so there could be roos included. I am actually in Ohio (barely) just below Wheeling, WV, but I do make it to PA frequently. We are looking at houses near Kittanning planning to try to get moved before the blizzard hits.
NPIP is National Poultry Improvement Program. My birds have all been inspected & tested for pullorum, typhoid & avian influenza.

Lisa:

I lifted this from the CCL hybrid thread when asking about my chicks:

The male is what passes the egg color down. So your CCL male will pass the blue egg laying gene down. I think it was garydean that posted if your hen lays white eggs the offspring from a CCL x white egg hen would be sky blue eggs. If its a shade of brown the hen lays would be from mint green, green to blue green eggs. and if the hen lays a dark egg like a maran you will have olive colored eggs.

NPIP is a bit more than a certification, NPIP means the flocks are tested monthly for disease(s)....and if you get chicks from that individual they will be healthy...hope this helps....
 
I hatch pretty much year round. I currently have 3 bators running and set 3-5 dozen eggs each week. A lot lately were pullet eggs & a lot weren't fertile in a couple batches. The last 2 batches were nearly 100% fertile so hatch rate is much higher for this batch than the last couple.
