I don't know where you can get any from around there but you can look online for hatcheries in the area. or try Craigslist in your area

only problem there is if you're going on craigslist, check them over for parasites as close as you can. And, not everyone is honest, and will tell you 'this chicken is only a year and a half old and lays good' and then you only get 2 eggs a week and figure out the chickens about 4 years old......

Haven't see Rocky Rhodes on in quite a while, he's in the Ellijay area, Flowerbh is in the Dawsonville area, with a few others as well. These folks take great care of their birds, they hatch out and prefer to sell to people they know will treat them right.

Not sure where exactly in NE GA you are, but a little drive time vs knowing you're getting what you're told you're getting and them being totally healthy is more than equal trade off in my opinion

Well, of the Lavender Ameraucana eggs in the bator, only 4 have hatched so far. Not even a pip coming from the other 4. Also hatched a Silkie mix and a Swedish Flower that I had thrown in there at the last minute. This is the last group of eggs that spent so much time in the new bator with the messed up thermometer/hygrometer. (The eggs ended up having really small air cells at the end) Hopefully, all the other eggs will now hatch better!

Still a little damp

So sad. YOU NEED A NN! Everyone should have at least one! They are just so fascinating! Rocky Rhodes has some more I think! I am growing out a few of mine. I only have 3 of the NN babies left though, sold the others.

I got a surprise egg and it was a NN but it was infertile. I was sad.
