WHAT kind of chickens?

[Gardenwitch]

Ok thanks for the tip everyone but can I ask what is PPF? Is it Practical Poultry? I did some more searching last night and hit pay dirt so I bookmarked a breeder and am waiting to hear back.

Yeah, it's practical poultry forum.

Great source of breeders, etc.

One advantage of Cuckoo Maran (I believe they come in other colours as well) is that it is easy to tell hens from cockerels at ALL ages! I can't remember the difference in colour of new hatched ones (just that there IS a difference) but as soon as they have feathers, hens are much darker. This is useful if you want to breed replacements AND eaters. I found the 3yo Maran hen to be an excellent (and usually predictable) broody.
