Gotcha on the list. Just need a total on how many you want for sure. Averaging about a dozen eggs a day from 17 hens (1 of which is 6 yrs old & rarely lays any more but makes a good broody for my call duck eggs).

@thebirdguy Are you NPIP & would you be willing to swap any eggs? I have ancona, calls, slates, palm covered by slate & rainbow layers laying now.

To whoever asked what a Rainbow Layer was: It is a collection of breeds with widely varied feather & egg colors bred together to deliberately produce even more variety. I have collected as many hens of different colors as I can laying chocolate, olive, khaki, green, blue, several shades of brown, cream & 1 who lays white. All 3 of my roos are different but all 3 carry blue/green egg genes. You never know what will pop out of the egg or what color it will lay.

Egg Whisperer. Hope to get there someday.

Arielle, You dry hatch, correct?

yes-- add only enough to keep air cells on track. With a woodstove sometimes a little added water; by humid August dry wells and pray!

A person from Crescent City was looking for chickens. It is a bit far for me.
