They look like so much fun, I love that the Polish have their little crests already as chicks. Where did you get them from? Are they straight run?


We got 9 chicks around the end of February. 3 each of Buff Orp, Easter Egger, Speckled Sussex. They were all sexed pullets but one of the Sussex is definitely a dude (we are cool with a rooster as long as he behaves.) I didn't expect them to have so much personality, and I didn't expect my whole family to enjoy them this much, even my husband who thought he was just humoring me with this whole chicken thing.

Obviously now we need to get more, right??
