What Are the Chicken "Must Haves" for 2013?

Wow, those are some gorgeous birds! A reason I want a Minorca Bantam is because they do really well in hot weather and it can spike to 113*F here in Southern Utah I also like the way they look,

Got some standard fertile eggs of these but they didn't work out.

For me its either Pure bred Araucan's or EE's. Why? because id love to sell more colorful eggs to my customers.



These are my 2 Lavender Blues.

Did they just not hatch or were the chicks no good?

I put a few under a broody, the broody got of them 1 week before hatch and the eggs died, i put the rest under another broody that broody killed 2 that hatched and the rest didn't hatch except one. So i combination of both. Pretty bad i would say.
