I ended up ordering twenty of these wonderful black female chicks from a hatchery in Ohio. Unfortunately, seven died in transit and another two did not survive the first couple of days. Now the number is down to eleven and they all seem to be doing well. I think now that summer is here, I can move them out of the basement and into an enclosure in the backyard.

Cuckoo Marans
If Cuckoo Marans are trendy, then who says so>?
There are a few sites on the web that make this claim and it seems like these chickens would be a likely candidate for being a hip sort of hen. These chickens lay very dark eggs as compared to most other chickens. I recently ordered 24 Cuckoo Marans chicks and will be looking forward to raising them into pullets. In the near future I can see myself selling the rich, dark brownish red eggs at a weekend market or perhaps to local chefs who are concerned about fresh locally produced ingredients.

Olive stuffer
I have always wanted an easy way to cram my favorite types of blue cheeses among other things into unsuspecting olives.
