    The place she ordered her chickens from got a replacement order for 11 chicks. They must have mistaken the order number for hers and she got a surprise shipment the morning she was due to visit me for a week. So she transported them all the way from Connecticut to me!

    Hi!

    I have only raised egg layers with my MIL. This is new to me, doing it solo with no help. I love those birds. We (the farm) have 4 Rhode island red, 6 barred rock, and 2 Easter eggers. We have a barred rock roo and a white lace bantam roo. My kids enjoy gathering the eggs! :)
