2013 Chicks Picked Out!

[Ladybug2001]

I just picked up my second batch. It will be my first time adding chicks to an existing flock.

I bought:
2 Red Sex Links
2 Buff Orpingtons
2 Cochins

Adding them to my existing flock of two Red Sex Links. I had four prior but lets just say my neighbors are keeping their dogs on a short leash.

I got the Cockins because my Tractor Supply accidently got them with the shipment of buffs and asked if I wanted them.

I just got back from placing my first chick order ever. In our town, we can have 2 hens. Since cruising this fabulous light I have learned chicken math very quickly, therefor I ordered a black star, a red star and a PR.
I am just so amazed at all the information available on this sight, without reading what others have said, I wouldn't know where to begin, but with everyone's help I have selected my breed, gotten a brooder ready with lamp, shavings feeder, waterer and am ready to go in 30 days!
Thankyou

Was going to revamp my Meyer order since I picked up three 6 month old BCM Hens a week ago. Re-vamping was the PLAN at least. But I just can't seem to get myself to cancel my Welsummer and White Sultan order for April. In fact I even added a Silver Laced Cochin! So, the new plan is to give away one of the BCM's to make room. Maybe the Black Australorp, too.Then of course while I was mulling all this over, I just HAD to go visit My Pet Chicken to check on my bantam order for June - and ended up adding 2 EE bantams to THAT order! I'm starting to believe that "Chicken Math" should be recognized as a bonafide mental disorder by by medical professionals, because what I am doing is simply not logical.

I ordered mine from McMurray for a ship date of April 8. They are 5 Red Ranger meaties (Straight Run), pullets of the following: 2 Buff Orpington, 2 Speckled Sussex, 2 Plymouth Barred Rock, 2 White Rock, 2 Americauna, and a mystery chick. I cannot wait to get them!

Glad I ordered mine in November!!... I tried to add a few to my April 9th delivery and pretty much everything I'd want is sold out already. I'm getting mine from Meyer Hatchery.
5 Welsummers, 3 Blue Laced Wyandottes, 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes, 2 columbian Wyandottes, 2 Partridge Rocks, 2 Speckled Sussex . I really like the Wyandottes & Rocks as layers, so I decided to branch out into some different colors. I'm also going to pick up some Easter Eggers and Barred Rocks from my local feed store. I wes at Agway the other day and they had some chicks already, so I decided I'd jump start chick season with five 3 week old chicks (which are SLW, EE & BO). Think I need a bigger coop.

Chicken math strikes again!

I'm counting down the days rather than weeks now! I'm picking up four on 3/9: 2EE, a Speckled Sussex, and a cuckoo Marans.
