RS>Yes, but I found my catalogue..Murray McMurray's. Didn't order though.
RS>Found a local supplier who has hens nearly a year old that I bought for $3
RS>each.
  Fancy hens? Because any regular hens are worn-out layers (for egg
  factory purposes) and usually go to soup factories. I have had some in
  the past - you have to force moult them and give them a very good diet
  to start getting decent numbers of decent eggs. And keep a rooster if
  you can - fertile eggs have decreased (supposedly) cholesterol levels
  over unfertilized eggs and are better for you.
  That reminds me - I have to get a Muscovy drake soon, or the girls may
  as well lay and try to hatch doorknobs. :-)
RS>Thanks, Cathy. Message is saved to file, because after it warms up here, I
RS>may order some specialty chicks just for fun.
  Don't mix the new chicks with the old layers, or you'll run into
  disease problems.
                           ...Sandra...
