Hello,
I just recently placed my order for my first flock of chickens and figured it would be a great time to join! I have ordered 5 Sapphire Gem, 5 Starlight Green Eggers, and 5 Speckled Sussex so 15 in total that will be here by the end of February! I know 15 is a lot for a first timer and originally planned on 10 tops from TSC but ordering straight from the hatchery they use (Hoovers Hatchery) required at least 15 at a time so I said why not! I wanted strong egg production but also wanted some cool/different looking birds so I found the middle of all that with the selected birds! I would love to hear anyone else's experience with any of them! I am from Northwest Ohio so they all sound like they will do okay with our wild range of climate lol. I have a Chocolate Lab and a Aussiedoodle to stare at their soon to be new yardmates! They will be in a coop with enclosed run to keep those 2 and other nuisances away. The brooder is built and the coop/run will be completed within the month for them. I can not wait to get these future egg machines and fun pets! My fiancé and I are extremely excited! Hope to find some cool friends here as well! Look forward to speaking to some of you soon!
