So I was just talking with my aunt and she's looking for some EE chicks, preferably pullets. She doesn't have much room so she's looking for four.

I'm sure there are a lot of places around to get chicks/pullets from but this is where we got our pullets from as well as our feed.

It would be a little bit of a drive for you but this place is all organic with healthy livestock.

We are new to raising Chickens, and I think we found them on craigslist also. Cory is the owner and was so helpful answering all our questions, and helped us decide on which breed we should have (we ended up with 6 Golden Sex ) His feed is his own label and we just kept them on it. Our girls are very healthy and the GSL's have proved to be great layers. The BA's (we got in Dec) are a month into laying.
We're partial to Baxter Barn so absolutely recommend

This is what I understand about chicken coloring so far:

Lavender = Grey
Blue = Grey
Silver = Grey
Grey = Grey

Sorry to sound sexist, I loves ya. But... I do believe you are a guy. As far as most men are concerned, this means that there are 8 colors in the world, and they are nicely labeled in a box of jumbo crayons if that helps.

For Renaissance Faire, only the Queen is allowed to wear purple. For years, we had newbies arguing that their dress was not purple... it was lilac, fuchsia, violet, deep indigo, etc. Our head of costuming finally git sick of it. Thereafter, on the first day of cast meetings she would make the announcement, "Only the Queen shall wear purple. If you are not sure if your material or gown is allowed, grab your husband or a random heterosexual man off the street and hold it up and ask what color it is. If he says 'purple' it is not allowed!"
This cleared up a lot of confusion! Lol

50 shades of grey... Chicken edition!

Actually, that reminds me of a book we found for a white elephant gift last year... 50 shades of chicken. It's hilarious.
