Well I don't know what happened to that post, but ya'll will figure it out I'm sure. Chicken owners are smart!
Hahaha, yes ma'am we are!
So did you end up getting just pullets? Or any straight runs?

I have NO egg basket yet (soon, soon), but that was the idea. That and getting some high egg producers and some that would continue producing through the winter. Almost my entire extended family lives nearby so I'll be supplying myself, my family, and likely my friends with eggs. In exchange for feed, bedding, and hard labor, of course! And I get to reap the benefit of playing with chickens everyday! And all the nice compost for the garden too.
Well I just called the feed store and reserved a new SLW and a SS, guess I need to get a new brooder ready incase they don't mix well. I had planned on combining two dog crates eventually so really ill just need an extra heating pad and can put them side by side to get used to each other. Lord knows what I'll actually end up with, they have Black sex links, golden comets and EEs (I love that little chipmunk face) coming too so I might end up making it an even dozen chicks

Ohhhhh I see. How old is your oldest batch now? I like the exchange of needs for eggs. I'll have to keep that in mind if we ever get inundated with eggs.
So many chicken and other fowl! I would be in heaven frolicking around your place. I bet you have a wonderfully colored egg basket too! I never knew geese could be lawn mowers. Hahaha. Efficient flock if you ask me!
And I hear ya on the fence. My husband finished our front and south side fence last summer (he works farm hours so the fence-build was only on Sundays and after work in the evenings). And now we are attempting the backside privacy fence this Spring, about halfway finished. And then we're hoping to finish the other side, north side fence in the late summer. And thats all just for a small residential lot. But building projects take a long time when you are doing them yourself and only able to put in an hour here and another hour there.

Now... if only we could get rid of that neighbor's RV! Ugh. Some people. Maybe I should get a rooster.....
I endorse all of these extra breeds!
DO IT! Hahahaha. I love the EE's too. My daughters love the idea of having pink, green, brown, or blue eggs. So I couldn't resist getting more of them.
