Chocolate egger hens hatched 03-25-26, $45 each or 4/$170. They have been vaccinated for mareks. The hens are black with irridescence, some with copper neck markings and some with feathered legs. They are very docile and lay large dark brown eggs (about 4-5 per week). The early eggs have a reddish tint to them, but by the end of a year, the eggs are milk chocolate brown. They like free ranging but adapt to being penned up. They aren't noisy birds. They are dual purpose.
I have a variety of hens available. If you are wanting lots of eggs, you want either the brown novogens (russet brown shelled eggs) or the white novogens (white shelled eggs). If you want a variety of colors, I have hens that lay one of the following colored shells: white, light blue, darker blue, green, olive, light brown and dark brown. The prices are $45 or $55 per hen (the $55 hens were more expensive chicks), and I give a $10 discount off the total price when you buy 4 hens (8 hens = $20 discount, etc).
