Chicken Math. Or "The story of how I didn't want chickens and got hooked"

Fluffy chilling with me.

The little ones, adjusting well. Night time temps are hovering around 60F so I have the lamp on for them still, but they're able to come and go from the warm box as they see fit and are seemingly content.

6 Orloff, 2 Speckled Sussex, 2 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Blue Wyandotte

I have read this from page 1 all the way through - my gosh what beautiful birds you have. Especially the breeds I've never seen before. What a treat for the eyes. I'm hooked on your thread

Woo! Glad you're enjoying it! We tell a more general story over on BYH as well and ther'es definitely some cross pollination between the two.

Actually looking locally for some polish frizzles for the Wife. We really like the frizzle we have not, but he's a roo, so he may have to be relocated.

Unfortunately, I'm not set up to ship interstate, and the costs for doing so are prohibitive (you thought shipping chickens was expensive). You'd pay 3x in shipping what I'd charge for the tortoise.

Understandable. Was worth a shot!

We're working on getting certified for this, but it's a slow process. If it happens, I'll let you know.
