New Chickens in Groton, MA!

Thread Starter 

Hey Everyone!  I'm fairly certain I'm addicted.  Brought home my first babies on the 26th of March.  Since then I have gone back to Agway to place an additional order for the middle of May.  I want a rainbow of chickens, not to mention eggs!  The first 5 I brought home were NH reds and EE.  Since then I came home with a cute little Dominique from a chicken swap.  The chicks coming from Agway will be Wyandottes, Blue Cochins, Salmon Faverolles, and Buff Brahmas.  I love the chubby ones!  

 

This forum clearly has a wealth of information as well as a bunch of cool folks to get to know and I'm thrilled to continue to learn about my girls as they grow!

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan big_smile.png

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
