okay, so my husband has gotten on board with expanding our flock.... our limit is 6, however, he says we can expand to 10! (SWEET!) He may have lost his mind... but I'm going to take FULL advantage of it! *evil cackle* .
I have been giving the excess eggs free to my neighbors for the past few months... but we decided yesterday that we are going to teach our kids how to take care of the chickens, eggs, and customers. And then they can sell the eggs for $1 a dz to earn a little summer cash. since we've been taking care of our neighbors... my husband thinks they'll have our backs if we expand our little flock over the limit
That being said... I'd love to get a chocolate egg layer, an olive egger, maybe a nice blue egg.... I have 2 - 3 week old chicks right now I could put them in with if they're around that age... Anyone have any available? (I am also going for if I like the look... and if they have a good personality, that's a major plus too, as they are just going to be used as pets/egg layers and not for breeding).
I have a three week old, that is supposed to be an OE. Came from a pretty dark blue egg, but the seller has marans, and he breeds them to be OE's. She is all black. The comb looks pretty red for this age, but pretty sure it's a girl from the beginning. You are more than welcome to have her. Starting to thin out some of my babies. I have two others that I am watching, and OE that is point of lay..saw her in the nest box today...so good on that color. Let me know.
