Greenfire is selling them for the same price now. In fact, I am expecting 6 SFH from them tomorrow in the mail.

Is anyone having trouble with their roosters being aggressive with children? Both of my roosters have been chasing my little girl (age 3). I am sure I will get another rooster out of my new shipment of chicks but had thought they where a less aggressive breed in general. I might have to re-home the two I have now. If anyone near TN. interested PM me.

The lady I got my two hatching eggs from said that her pullet is sweet as pie and the cockerel is fairly evil. She said it's a good thing he's so pretty. I'm almost positive both the chicks from those two eggs are pullets. They are 11 weeks now and one of them thinks she's a puppy.
She's absolutely my favorite chicken ever. The other is calm also but not so happy to stand and be petted or picked up. The 9 I got from Greenfire are 6 weeks now and 6 of them look like they are cockerels. Ouch. I do have a really nice variety to choose from, though. I got all colors and some crests, too!

I just ordered six SFH from Greenfire, too. I believe they should arrive next week. Very excited! Fingers are crossed for at least 3 hens. Hoping they will fare well in this desert climate (Southern NM).
