Beautiful birds, though. Listening to a neighbor's rooster as I write this!

(51,308 posts)I have several different types, and one type lays turquoise colored eggs. It's like Easter everyday lol.

(69,806 posts)offering to chip in a few bucks if i wanted to get one.
sorely tempted. chicks are available for $200/ea, straight run.
pretty damn tempting. would have to buy at least 3 to make sure i got a hen out of the deal. unless i was patient enough to do it one at a time. not my strong suit.
there is a similar breed, the swedish black hen, but it lays white eggs. i pick my girls for the pretty eggs, but that one might be a good token white egg.
right now i have a chick that is a black star, a black feathered hybrid. little bitty thing, but already stunning.
soooooo tempting.
