Good Day Everyone. I wanted a small flock of laying hens for about two years now but waited until I had the time to pursue it and a job without travel. I have been following BYC for about the same amount of time and have benefited greatly from the posts and comments. The chicks arrived on March 21 and we have been having such fun! I have two Andalusians (one white; one blue); one Ancona; and two salmon Faverolle's. My husband is making the Purina chicken coop and it should be finished in the next couple of days. I don't know the ages of the chicks, but they arrived healthy from Purely Poultry. The white Andalusian is the oldest and has the most feathers. The Ancona appears to be the youngest. I was wondering if chicks raised together still go through a pecking order. Or maybe they are doing that process slowly now? I have many pics to post soon as I find my uplink cable. Thanks to everyone for all your help and info :)
