Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are here

When I saw photos of this breed of chicken, I went wild.

I know, it seems silly, right? It is just a chicken, you say.

Indeed, but wow, are these ever some pretty chickens.

There is something about starting into chickens that
compels one to keep collecting more, or maybe it is
that there is something about me that compels me to
collect more, and the chickens have little to do with
it. Ha!

At any rate, here are what BLRW typically look
like in the regular and the splash variety:

Splash hen and Rooster

See there, now what did I tell you? How pretty are they?

So, I search high and low locally, and I finally found

someone selling eggs on ebay about 1 hour from us.

We drove over, bought the eggs and a very nice woman from

Peace of Eden farm in Prichard, WV . . .

sat the eggs in her incubator and hatched them for us.

We ended up with 8 healthy chicks from the hatch.

The hens and rooster our chicks are out of

And . . .

Drum Roll Please

 Our 8 little chicks!

We will be selling some rare, heritage breed chicks in the spring of 2011!
