I had 1 "chipmunk patterned" day old chick not make it in shipping. Question; at 2-weeks old, can you tell me if it's a WELSUMMER or a SPECKLED SUSSEX?:/
I absolutely love the idea of not knowing what you'll get! It's like being 6-years old and wondering what the prize is in a box of Cracker Jacks! I've ordered several chicks, but I really want BUDDIES for a Salmon Faverolle and Mille Fleur d'Uccle! Can someone tell me how many eggs a week they...
