Les I have 2 blue coppers that are getting close to POL. 1 has a funky comb and the other has green tinted legs so not for breeding. For you I can do 10 each.

Thanks Becky! Sent you a PM.

Interesting...I have been considering starting a Rhode Bar flock and buying from Greenfire Farms. Have you contacted them?

Yes - I've contacted Greenfire Farms - they refused to refund my money or replace the chicks. They assured me the chicks they sold me were purebred. Both hens lay green eggs, though - and Rhodebars are supposed to lay brown eggs. I'm biding my time until the eggs I put in the bator hatch. If the chicks aren't auto-sexing and/or the chicks don't look like Rhodebars should look, I will talk with Greenfire again.

What do you mean "Get off the Baby gate" I thought we were your babies.

Hi everyone! I am new to posting on a forum and new to chickens today, too! It is a big day for me. I just got my shipment of chicks from My Pet Chicken this morning and of all things, my son's pick of a Buff Orpington apparently hopped out of the box before they sealed it up! Would anyone know of where I could get a little BO hen this late in the year...some what close to Nashville? Thanks for any advice, he is coming home in a few hours and I am sad to break the news. He knew it would be the only fluffy yellow chick in the bunch. We got a Plymouth Barred Rock, Black Copper Maran, Easter Egger, and a Black Austrolorpe. Each of my kids picked out a different chick...it will be sad if he doesn't have his own! Our mistake for "counting our chick..." Sorry for any posting etiquette I may have messed up. Thanks!

You didn't happen to pick up your chicks at the Franklin PO, did you? I was there earlier today and someone was picking up a box of chickens. They were chirping up a storm!
Sorry - don't know of anyone with a buff orpington.
And WELCOME to BYC and the middle TN thread!
