I've got pure white rocks. But not sure I could give them away.

Would you be willing to sell eggs from your Plymouth rocks, preferably white....I think Fisher Lady also has rocks, not sure of the colors.

Hello everyone! Just an update, I posted about a week ago that my Leghorn had an "encounter" with the neighbors dog and is no longer with us. So @roseschicks told me I could buy one of hers as a replacement. WhenI got there she introduced me to chicken math. My two new additions are bantam Langston mixes. They are from @msladyhawke originally. Do you have any more info on them? Love to know for curiousitys sake. The girls are named Flora and Fauna and I will post pics tomorrow.

I have Whites, Barred and Silver Pencil Rocks.... only adults right now are the SPRs, but lots of chicks running around which I will use to establish a group of 5 or 6 hens and a rooster of each.

Wing, I have you covered on a WR roo as soon as I figure out how many I have. I honestly have just let the little buggers go running around with their broody mamas. I only hatched out 6 or 7 of the WR but I am pretty sure the odds would be astronomic at having all but one be pullets! So we should have an extra to send your way. I know for sure I have an extra BR boy already and I am pretty sure there is an extra SPR boy too.

Right now we are on broody #16, and as soon as most of the chicks are big enough for me to know boys vs girls I will be selling all the extras. I have 5 hens currently on a mix of BR, Light sussex and White Leghorn eggs, though the fertility on the LH eggs was really poor, so may only end up with 4 or 5 to give the friend I am hatching them for.

It is fishing/camping season and DH and I are ready for these hens to give it a break! 5 of our current broodies are repeaters from earlier this year already.

Hi Kinmera! I see you are in Chataqua area. We camp/fish just west of Erie, so would be an easy meet up if you need and egg/bird shuffle down to Central Pa area.

Right now they are protesting a location move and refuse to lay. Once they start laying again I would sell eggs. I'm working on improving quality and hope to get a better trio or quad soon.

I've got 2 young cockerel (about 12 weeks) that I could let go for about $10 each plus shipping. They're good for everything but a good breeding program and fairly calm too

I know these are hatchery birds and not quite the same but here are the 30 some birds that hubby got from tsc, all in a grow out pen and about 11 weeks....I do not see any roosters, it should be evident by now,

Good for the egg business, but I need a rooster to keep the breed going.


Yes, I know the pen dedesperately needs cleaned

I run a ratio of 1 roo for every 8 to 10 hens for breeding my egg layers. Fewer hens when working with my sop stock.
