I have 4 golden sexlinks from privett, typical red sexlink cross looking birds, don't have pictures as chicks but can post a couple pictures of the juveniles later if you would like

There's a family right off of 73 near Dan's Deli, has at least 1 rooster in with her red sexlinks and is selling eating eggs. Doubt she hatches so not sure what her fertility is like. About 25 min from reading. I don't know of any others but I'm sure they're around. As sally said, it is likely...

They don't get too big, the boys top out around 8 pounds usually, only a little over a pound bigger than an Ameraucana. They usually look heavy and squat because they have very loose feathering. I love bearded breeds, almost every breed I'm working with this year is bearded! lol!

Alright, here's the babies, plus some rogue ameraucanas and here's the pictures she sent me of her stock

Breeder, she sent me pictures, her flock looks solid quality. I'll be interested to see how they grow out too. Will post the pictures she sent me and a couple pics of the babies later, my phone won't upload pictures to the site

Possibly, when I get over there to pick up birds I'll take a look. I swore to myself I wouldn't do waterfowl this year because of all the projects I had going on but how bad could some bantam ducks be? :lol: In other news, blue salmon faverolles eggs I had shipped in from Texas hatched. I...

Ugh calling for snow AGAIN here in the southeast on Saturday :th so tired of this weather!! :smack

Yeah, all the ones I got in the past were signifigantly different as well. But it's the only thing I've found even relatively close, with the comb being so unusual looking...I have about 25-30 orloffs coming from 3 different hatcheries, so if it does end up being an orloff and I end up getting...

I got shipped egg anxiety too! 26 due on the 7th, blue salmon faverolles :fl:fl crossing my fingers for good juju for both of us

Normally I would agree with easter egger, but even blowing the pic up, the comb is just so flat and sits so wide, I can't agree that it's a pea comb. If it's a hatchery chick, it has to be a purebred though. The only purebred breed you're going to find in a hatchery with a comb like that AND a...

One long-awaited shipment arrived today, whole bunch of Ameraucanas. Such cute little butterballs

Dennis has several rare breeds and varieties available now or soon as chicks, and I will probably have several extra started pullets later in the summer of various breeds and varieties available as well

Sounds like a wonderful area! although I don't think you will notice much of a difference in your tick population after you get chickens. I keep chickens mainly for eggs and for exhibition. I have kept guinea fowl in the past, which I do believe (at least in my case) made a different in the...

Hello Tweeder :welcome That would depend on what kind of chicks you are looking for :)

Berks co here :welcome it's always a trap! Mine had $1 3 week old barred rock and brown leghorn, so I picked out 2 of each with lady characteristics. Oops! What are everyone's thoughts about possibly having a large swap/get together for the thread's 10th anniversary in September 2019? :jumpy
