do you have roosters of each breed ?
do you have facilities to keep the breeds separated ?

Of course! It would be rather hard to offer specific breeds otherwise.

We're going to be selling hatching eggs and chicks this spring! We've got Dorkings, Icelandics, Australorps, EE's, and general barnyard.

Icelandics: hatching eggs $22/half dozen, $8/chick. We will also have four roos for sale once we decide who we're using, and they will be $25-$45.

Dorkings: hatching eggs $20/ half dozen, $7/chick.

Australorps and EE's: hatching eggs $14/half dozen, $5/chick

General Barnyard Egglayers: hatching eggs $12/half dozen, $4/chick

We're outside Madison in Marshall, WI.

Thank you for posting this. I’m interested in Australorps and EE's. I’ll keep an eye open for your posts this spring.

@keedokes Any of those have small combs? Seeing as I have another chicken with frostbite on her big old comb, I am going to try to get small combed birds.

Jim, this is going to sound harsh, probably because it kind of is. But. I replied to your comment with a little levity (following it with a wink) despite being slightly offended that you would choose to ask me if I was following some basics of breed preservation, as if I haven't been living and breathing these birds and this farm life and the best choices to make all of this move forward, as if I don't know how babies are made. I didn't reply that I was offended. I didn't call you out on your words being rude. But you DID reply to my brief response that everything is taken care of on this end to do this responsibly--with passive aggressiveness and sarcasm, and I don't appreciate it. And it's not my job to babysit your feelings if you start off a combative conversation and you don't like my response.

I know this will likely anger you, but this isn't the first weird defensive post I've seen from you, and I'm letting you know that I see it. And I really don't think it's okay. And I'm not going to be sitting here worried about how you're going to react to what I say, because...it's not my job to babysit your feelings. You're an adult. I've been following with your life as you record it here because I'm interested, because I like to be connected with like minded people, because you have a lot of knowledge to offer. You are an interesting, accomplished, cool dude. And I hope that we can be cool.

Jusavi--definitely! If you let me know what you're thinking, I can earmark some babies for you.

Dreamer--the EE's do have smaller combs and wattles. Let me track down some pics and I can post them in the next post!

I was asking about the roosters because I didn't know if you had them already or not ??
and I asked about the separate pens because I didn't know how far along you are in your new place.
and I didn't mention that you will play heII trying to sell roosters when hardly nobody wants them..
respectfully,
I am not going to ask you to point out all the snide posts I have made.
I am here to help when I can.
despite what you think ..

Those EEs are kinda cool looking - I wonder if the friends who get the eggs would mind colored eggs?
See, they are engineers and engineers can be a LITTLE set in their ways. Heck, DH may not even eat eggs with colored shells, lol. And one of the guys saves the "good eggs" for himself and makes his 2 year old eat the store eggs- because she doesn't appreciate the better eggs at her age. Now, if he brought home colored eggs, he may have to share them!
