Sumatras and Andalusians

[Zack and Flock]

Hi,
I am a 4Her in Louisiana. I have blue Analusians, speckled Sussex, black Minorcas, brown Leghorns, white Silkies, and black Sumatras(my favorites). I recently heard to get the best from Sumatras, vitamin supplements are necessary. I am also a little curious on how to breed blue Andalusians since the blue coloration is recessive. I'm interested in any advice anyone has to offer.

Would you be willing to ever sell some of your sumatra chicks?

Since I just got a Sumatra less than one month ago I haven't hatched any eggs yet. Once I get started I might. Where are you from?
