My dad and I went to and bought some really nice Welsummer chicks and I bought a few barred rock chicks. These were really nice chicks and seem very healthy. We bought all the Welsummers he had at the time (36) and think we came out with about 12 roosters and 24 pullets, give or take one or two. I am now officially chicken poor with 45 chicks, 18 grown chickens, 5 turkeys and 11 guineas.
