Yeah, I wish I could order more! But my babies are FINALLY getting along with the big chickens, so even though I really want more, it is probably a good thing I have been restricted from ordering more, now I only have one pen of chickens to take care of and January is not toooooo far away right?? This is my full wish list,
2 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes
2 Buff Brahmas
2 Barnvelders
2 Blue Copper Marans
2 Blue Ameraucanas
2 Swedish Flower Hens
2 Cream Legbars
2 Buff Laced Polish
2 Salmon Faverolles
1 Silver Penciled Rock
2 Lavender Orpingtons
6 Easter eggers.
You know how availability goes, so on January 1st I am going to place my order and just get as many of those as I can, but I know I will only be able to get like 1/3 to 1/2 of the breeds on there. The day I have freedom to buy any chickens I want whenever is going to be the day I need to buy 300 acres for all the chickens I will have. Chicken fever hit me a bit too hard.....
And my Partridge Rock. (Her name is Rey.) Today she has been able to barely stand up, using her wings for support. Yes, she is eating and drinking. I thought about giving her something like Sav-a-chick, but I did not have any. I think a weasel is what got them. I think that is why Rey has been so weak, is because weasels suck blood, so I think she was low on blood.
Aww yeah that makes sense and actually sounds like a good plan!!! You have self control lol
All those breeds sound great. But yes, get as many as you can or you could order earlier but have a 2017 hatch date as soon as that becomes available.
I thought about adding a Brahma hen or a Brahma rooster to this order but didn't. I wanted BLRW but they were sold out wanted a silver penciled rock but decided to wait. I have 2 EEs and they are great. I love my Buff Orps and want more colors. Tbh the only ones on that list I haven't considered are Marans and Polish. But more just would like to haves.
My must haves eventually are more Wyandottes as well as as many different color Orpingtons as possible and maybe Australorps LOL
I was finally able to add some more breeds though.
The order for October is 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Partridge Rock, and 1 free chick. Can't wait to see what it's gonna be lol
I'm so happy because I've wanted them since I got my first last October but they were always sold out. Sad the BLRW is sold out because I wanted to get all the Wyandottes at once but still sooo happy O got the other 2 lol
I wanted all 4 Plymouth Rock varieties lol I have a Barred Rock and she's great.
Right now I have 1 Barred Rock, 2 Black Australorps, 3 Buff Orpingtons, and 2 Easter Eggers. Love all of them but can't wait for my new babies <3
As for your Partridge Rock aww that's a good sign! Hope she makes a full recovery! And in the future you may want to look into purchasing some Sav-A-Chick as well as Nutri-Drench. Both are very helpful to have on hand. I think I've heard some say you can also use a little bit of sugar water or some Gatorade or pedialyte to perk them up if you don't have it. Might help and maybe some egg. Good luck! And that makes sense!! Hope she gets better! Oh and maybe some stuff high in iron if it's lost blood
