The wait is finally over!!!
Typically when I buy chicks, I pick out what breeds I want. I choose these breeds on outward appearance, number of eggs laid a year, and their personalities. I like my flocks to be mixed with their looks and the egg color. I swap between the breeds to keep up the variety. However, since we didn’t get chicks last year I was torn as to what breeds to get and to keep cost down I decided to buy an assortment the hatchery had available. It was essentially the left over chicks for that day. We specified we wanted pullets (females) and we wanted rare and unique breeds.
So, what did we get??? The wait is over! We got buff Orpingtons, Americanas, light brahmas, and silver laced wyndottes. 🥰🥰 4 of my favorites and I haven’t had brahmas in such a long time I’m so excited to add them to the flock.
Of course, we have extras to share the excitement of raising chicks so if you’d like some let me know.
