Ok, I had a complete " oops moment"! I forgot that our 4 ducklings were out free ranging this evening and didn't put them back into the brooder. I just remembered at 9:30pm I rushed outside to find the ducklings sleeping with our 2 labs on the dog beds in the pump house. I am glad our dogs are so tolerant of poultry!

So, I've got an order for 45 chickens from Murray McMurray in, and an order for 61 chickens from Cackle in. Excited beyond reason.

So, chicken mathematicians, can you help me work this out... if I ordered 106 chickens, at least 50 are for sure freezer birds and x number of cockerels from the straight run are freezer-bound as well, and the hens from the order are being split between three households, how many chickens did I end up with? I've been crunching the numbers trying to figure it out, I think I somehow ended up with a negative number. This is very important to get accurate, it will steel my resolve to not get in touch with the person selling Marans on Craigslist.

I will be processing some extra cockerels that are about 3 months old next week. If anyone needs a Barnevelder cockerel let me know. Several of the cockerels might grow up to be breeder quality, one or two might end up decent show quality and one is a blue cockerel. I am only keeping a select few from specific breedings to grow out longer. I also have two pet quality blue pullets that are 12 weeks old that would make very pretty layers.

I found this picture on the Guinea Fowl International Website. These are listed as Royal Purple. The second one is one of the ones I just hatched. Do you think they look like the same?

I've only ever seen three colors in person, pearl gray, white, lavender and pieds of those colors, so I have no idea, lol. Found this site, it has pictures of chicks and adults.
