I'm new to chickens I got the first ones last Friday and already I can see chicken math starting lol. I started off with 3 silkies and 3 Easter eggers. A few days ago I decided I wanted more future egg colour variety for the toddlers to collect in the fall.. soooo I kept one silkie and one easter egger and sold the other 4, so I could get 4 more (1 of 4 different breeds) in stead yesterday I picked up 3 black copper marans, and tomorrow some cream crested Legbars are due to hatch and I'm first on the list for 2 females.. sooo that puts me up to 7 (already one more than the 6 original, which was one more than the 5 my other half approved lol) aaaand I'm still trying to hunt down the elusive salmon Faverolles, and the basically non existent (that I can tell) Langshan! My issue is I need it to be local since no one will ship less than 25 chicks and I only want two of each.. maybe next year if I'm lucky enough to have some broody hens I'll order eggs and they can hatch them for me LOL anyways that would put my total chicks up to 11 and I can see it getting more out of control as time goes by, I want all the breeds
