I have made a lot of mistakes buying chickens. I am getting better but..... my mistakes put eggs on the table and bring me so much joy. You aren't the first and you won't be the last. They are so cute, enjoy them. I am lucky I have room for a lot of mistakes, I hope you do too. Chickens are addictive. Don't tell anyone but I bought 12 more at tractor supply yesterday! I couldn't help myself!So I bought a few chicks(the little white and yellows are crosses we hatched) and will I had chicks I figured I might as well see if there were other breeds that interested me.
Are the 2 brown's in the pic's Bielefelders? Hoping so! The black ones I got from the same person must be crosses of some sort. Shame on me for not researching first, but a bit of an impulse purchase. Thanks!
I am guilty of chicken math for sure!!! It has been a wonderful adventure and learning curb when it comes to chickens so I am sure I will gain just as much enjoyment from these! I was just looking at the darker one and her legs are bordering on blue! So now really wondering if they are just especially well colored easter eggers! LOL But I love my colored eggs and will be glad to have more.
Do the legbars? have yellow legs?
It is amazing how we connect with people here from all over the world. I am making Kumquat Marmalade this morning and I thought of DesertChic. Planning dinner I thought about Bine. All the people that touch my life here on BYC, there are so many. You all are always willing to share your knowledge, sympathy, information and joy at the drop of a post!
Thank you all for your support and kindness.
Couldn't resist..... they had Cuckoo Marans. More dark eggs from my laying flock! There is always a justification!
that explains the chicken a week dining experience. LolMe too! I was down to 53, then bought 13 Austra White cockerels to learn how to caponize, and have 17 eggs in an incubator and one hatchling so far.
Yep!
