Looking to add a beautiful rainbow egg assortment to your flock? 🐣 I have chicks available from a Grand Champion flock, featured on NBC Texas Today, that is a mix of Olive Eggers, Ameraucana/EE, Cuckoo Marans, RIR, Barred Rock, Welsummer, BCM, Barnevelder, Buff Orpington etc.

I do NOT sell individual breeds of chicks. These are a straight run mix, meant to get uniquely colored rainbow eggs. Creating olive eggers, different shades of blues, greens, pinks, and speckeled layers. Some chicks will be pure breeds some will be mixed.
