No, I've yet to mail order chicks. I usually do buy hatchery chicks but from feed stores and the like. Most of my birds are from Reber Ranch and Seattle Farm Supply.

I have some but i'd have to get up and am on bed rest. I dislocated my hip and it took the doctors a week to realize that was what the issue was.

Dang! Hope it gets better soon.

A FOUL, FOWL MESS?

That's what I thought you had said before. I so wish I could find someone near by that has all these colorful egg-layers that are the same age. Part of it is my intolerable impatience level. I am guessing that it has to do with my own baby turning a year and a half, and now I feel like I need more babies around me.

I have talked to a few breeders on the thread, but they focus on one or two specific breeds and some live so far away (duh, Audrey, that's the country), I get little time for adventures. I supported a local artist friend and got two tickets to an art show in Seattle I know I can't attend.

I would be so happy if someone on here were to say they have an egg laying assortment of chicks and they are around the corner! I would be there in a heartbeat!

ETA - two free tickets to an art show at Trinity (I'm guessing it's some sort of club?) this Saturday, to whomever wants 'em

It already has started feeling better. I went to my second physical therapy appointment and they finally got it all the way back in place and then i got a massage. I was told go home and sit on my butt all day. It's harder then ya think to just sit around. I'm so bored and I want to do so much stuff. I can't stand sitting around.

Go to Baxter Barn. That's where I just got my chicks and he has the following:
*CHICKS*(All pullets "female")
2/6/13 ($5-$2) $3 Assorted Old English Bantams st run ($8-$2) $6 Barnavelder, Cuckoo Maran, Wellsummer, Speckled Sussex
1/30/13 ($7-$2) $5 Barred Rock, Black Cochin, ($9-$2) $7 Ameraucana, Delaware, Gold Laced Wyandotte, Salmon Faverolle, Silkie and frizzles st run,

If you buy the breeds I bolded, you'll have a wonderful assortment of beautiful birds AND eggs!
Cuckoo Marans - chocolate eggs
Welsummer - dark copper eggs
SS, Barred Rock, GLW - brown eggs of different shades
Ameraucana - green/blue eggs
Salmon Fav - tinted or cream colored eggs

WDYT? One trip, and they're all within a week of age from each other and more than able to be brooded together.

approx how long did you have to swirl? Start to finish? I tried w/mine but I think I did it wrong

I swirled it about 20-30 seconds at the most? If yours isn't making honeycombs, yo might have funny honey. BTW- Google "Seattle Times Honey Laundering" for an outstanding explanation of how we're being fooled into buying junk.
