Ok everyone. I am ISO of 3 new birds. Pullets, please. Ideal age would be 8-16weeks.

A Buff Orpington is an absolute must. So, the other 2 I would prefer a Crested Cream Legbar or an Isbar and a Minorca.
I know those are not as easy to find round these parts, so if I have to I could go with another option for a colored egg layer and a white egg layer. my objective: to have a mixed flock. Uncommon breeds appeal to me most but I don't discriminate.

Does anyone here have any of these for sale or know who might? I know there is a breeder in Griffin who has one of those breeds but sells only unsexed chicks as far as I can tell.
If any of you do have these for sale:

what age are they?
what is your price point?
will they be available at the swap on the 30th?
if not, I'm willing to drive, how close/far are you from Coweta Co?

I still have the Black Minorca but it is only 4 weeks old. Let me know if you want her.

by the time April 30th hits, she'd qualify! So, yes! DH and I have discussed and laid out the plan to bring home 3 newbies by April 30th. I didn't realize that it's only 3 weeks(ish) away! LOL

I lose track of space and time it seems. Lately.

so now, I need to secure 2 more. A BO and a blue egg layer! Thanks, Flower!

similar behavior occurred when I had to reintegrate Sophia after the hawk attack. I had to keep her isolated until I was able to get what I needed to secure the yard enough to prevent further attacks. OS it was close to 3 weeks before I decided on the right options. It took about a week for her to come around once she was past the look but don't touch stage, but eventually she did. I just made sure she had another separate feeder to get to when she needed since the others wouldn't let her near the food and water at first.

Thanks, hopefully she will come around.

DANG it!!! Just heard a fuss at the bantam coop.. Looked out the window to see the SAME big white dog that broke into it a couple months back- and this time he has a new, BIGGER hound dog friend with him.

And what kills me is that I never think to "kill them with kindness".. I let my anger take over and I yell at them and scare them off. I've gone out now and put a bowl of kibble into an empty chain link kennel.. I pray they'll come back today.

.22 caliber with rat or snake shot at 25 feet in the butt won't kill them but will put their butts close to the ground as they're leaving and howling and they quickly lose interest in chickens. I know this from experience!

I just hatched a BO earlier this week so it doesn't meet your guidelines but it's free. Also aren't Cream Legbars auto sexing?
 
Today's hatch has went pretty good. For shipped eggs you could even say great for one breed. Had 12 French BCM and 12 Wellsummers. Had 10 hatch from the FBCM and 5 out of the Wellsummers.



Got them on Ebay. They stated Show quality French BCM. Eggs were really dark.

4 eggs were darkest and this pic doesn't show true color.

The Wellsummers look huge!


Or at least that rooster does.

Some of those eggs are dark as well. All have lots of spots. I was glad 5 of them hatched because after I candled them it wasn't looking promising for most. I think if it hadn't been for the new Cabinet incubator I would not have had such good luck.

You need to butter up Silver Hill, his babies are not that old but he has the first two you are looking for, is your Isbar the same as an Isa brown? if so I have them but they are little, not heat little but little. I have young BO's too little not too little, but little, you can tell the sex due to waddle lines are showing, little
