good luck with your dozen peepers and I hope you love your fuzzies as much as the rest of us.
Thanks! And I have no clue.. I can't remember what our friend told me. They are parents whose kiddo goes to preschool with my son, and they just have too many. When this next batch hatches they are sending them our way. He told me what kind, but he also said they are cross bred. Pretty casual folks. The eggs we get from them are all different colors.. Does that mean anything?
I'm sure I will. I love animals in general. My goal is some layers, and then some broilers.. along with a sheep and a pig, but that's for another forum, no?Welcome! This is the perfect place to find any and all information you might needgood luck with your dozen peepers and I hope you love your fuzzies as much as the rest of us.
sounds like you might have americanas ( also known as Easter eggers) on the way. They lay all different colored eggs. Locally hatched chicks are a great way to go as it seems the hatchery birds are pretty well stressed out by the time you get them. I hatch my own with broody hens and occasionally get hatchery birds through local farm supply stores or fellow chicken lovers who have ordered too many. I LOVE hatching my own. It's quite addicting.
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
