Exactly! I'm going to see how I like them, and next year maybe I'll get some "show quality" ones. But as for chicks, these little fuzz balls are soooooo quiet and relaxed. Very sweet!

I went to pick up 10 lavender Ameraucanas....but came home with 16 chicks! 12 lavenders and 4 Chanteclers!!!!!!! He told me the Chanteclers aren't show quality, but will be really good layers....so I just couldn't pass them up...that would just be wrong on so many levels!!!!!
Everyone is...
I bought/ordered my chicks last November from John...just been waiting for hatch day. I live about an 1-1 1/4 hours from him...getting ready to leave here pretty soon.
My DH is actually going with me! Mind you, this is the same man who wants NOTHING to do with my chickens . I'm sure...
I will definitely be posting pics asap!
I'm counting down the hours...picking them up at 1pm tomorrow. Maybe I should go on to bed so as to pass the time faster!
Last November, I ordered/purchased 10 bantam lavender Ameraucanas from John Blehm. It's been a very long winter, but the day is finally here! I'm going to pick them up tomorrow!
