Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Hey all,
If any of you are looking to add to your flocks, or are interested in rare heritage breeds, I've made contact with a woman in Langley who is raising chicks and will be selling point-of-lay heritage hens in the fall. She writes:
Here is the list of breeds we will be raising (like you I am into dual purpose rare heritage breeds):
· Black Cooper Marans – chocolate brown eggs (just ordered enough for myself so if you want these let me know so that I add to my order)
· Coronation Sussex (very very rare – according to the breeder we will be the first in BC other than her to have these)
· Australorps (amazing layers)
· Silver laced Wyandottes
· Araucanas (true breed not Easter Eggers – lay blue eggs)
· Ameraucanas (true breed not Easter Eggers – lay blue eggs)
· Barnevelders
· Blue Laced Red Wyandottes
· Blue Orpington (also rare and hard to get)
Her info:
Tiffeny Papuc and Darren Streifel
Phone: 604-812-5273
Email: tiffeny@shaw.ca
I'll probably get in touch in the fall & see what she has available (her eggs are arriving soon). Just thought I'd pass along her info as another source for interesting birds.
Cheers,
-Kristi
