What chicks are you getting this Spring?

[LAChickenKid]

Hoping to hatch my first chicks! Really want some bantam Sultans.

I have one. It's a very good breed! Have fun hatching!!

We haven't had any chickens in about a year and a half. We'd maintained a small flock of Welsh Harlequin (plus one runner) ducks until a predator killed 8 of our 10 birds one night before Christmas. I just placed an order with Meyer for May. 11 Faverolles st run (I've always wanted some), 2 buff brahmas pullets and 2 random Cochin pullets. I'd like to keep one,Faverolles roo and any others will end up in the freezer. I also added on 3 Welsh Harlequins for the heck of it. I know they won't be the quality I had in my holderreads birds but I don't need the minimum number of ducks I'd need to order from them (though if they still bred runners I wouldn't be saying the same thing ).

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost a couple bantams right before Christmas, too.

I got 4 gold laced wyandotte pullets in spetember- two turned out roosters and the other two girls also had dreadful personalities toward all the other chicks. So i sold them!

Our gold laced wyandottes are naughty, too! Hope you have some other hens you like in your flock!

Yes! Besides the new chicks in the brooder( 8 ameraucanas) We have a couple buff ameraucanas, and buff orpingtons and 1 russian orloff and they all have wonderful personalities. They are all keepers!

First time Chick Daddies - in a week and half we should have a Golden Comet, Buff Orpington, Barred Plymouth Rock, and an Easter Egger.

So many great ideas and things to learn on here.
