What chicks are you getting this Spring?

Will be the same breed as the last two years....It's hard to cope with one pretty, docile, active breed such as the Plymouth Rock is but we'll manage somehow...


 
I'm new on this site, but not new with having chuckies. I'm hoping to get some Easter eggers for the first time, also some guineas for the first time.just 4 of each to see how I like them.
My SLW have an attitude also. Kinda full of themselves.

My fav so far in my 10 yrs experience is the buff Orpingtons, (sweet girls), the dominque's, and the polish crested( they r so funny looking their cute).
I love trying out new breeds!!
 
In addition to hatching out some chicks from my breeder flocks of Barnies and Iowa Blues listed below, I also plan to add some variety to my layer flock in the form of Blue Ameraucana, Black Copper, Blue Copper and Splash Marans, Buff Orpington, Columbian Wyandotte, Exchequer Leghorn, Silver Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben, Lavender Orpington, New Hampshire Red and Easter Eggers. Hopefully it will give me a lot of variety in egg color, as well as in chickens, but in the end, I still blame chicken math.
 
We got these two on Sunday, hatched on 2/23.



This is our second batch of chicks. It's nice to have a little more experience under our belts so we aren't out there watching them 24 hours a day!
 
I'm getting new babies in April! I'm practicing good chicken math

3 Whiting True Blues
3 Olive Eggers
3 Black Cooper Marans
(Possibly 3 Iowa Blues)
Buff Rock
Silver Penciled Rock
New Hampshire Red
Welsumer
(And the list could go on & on & on...)
And of course I think I'll add a couple more before April gets here

I also will be getting 30 Cornish XRocks which is fun having so many fluff balls at once,

even though I know their final destiny is freezer camp. I have turned into the crazy chicken lady
