Welcome to BYC greeneggsand spam (love your name!) I just know you'll have a ball with planning for and then raising your chickens!

Oh what fun! 14 babies! Welcome to BYC! Where do you live in Illinois?

Thanks for the information re:Farm & Fleet, OSUman.

It's good to know where the chicks at Rural King come from. Have you ever bought any from there? Do you know about the ones from Farm & Fleet?

Hi! I'm west of Maroa. Welcome! I just started raising chickens last summer. I got my day old chicks at Myers Hatchery. I just got a catalog from Murray McMurray and they have a couple of good deals for multiple chicks. I'm excited for you to get started! Best of luck!

Sounds like you have a nice flock! Where did you get the Icelandics? I'd never heard of them before & looked them up & they are gorgeous! BTW I love your part of the state,,,much more scenic than central IL.

I looked up Cornish on this website....such pretty birds. Do you only use them for meat or are they dual purpose?

Thank you for the very pretty "welcome"! Where in Illinois are you? Tell me about your chickens.
