Chicks are coming!!!!

[Fisherlmiranda]

Hello all! I've been a member of byc for over a year now I believe. But never ventured past the duck pages. I've had ducks for a few years now, I manly raise Welsh harlequins. And this year on out homestead we decided to incorporate a mobile chicken coop in the cow pasture! They are shipping out to us this week! We are building a justin Rhodes chickshaw style mobile coop. And will have 17-20 (the buff orpington are for my grandpa if he wants them) chickens. Heres what I ordered. I was going for a colorful egg basket. I'm excited to join the chicken people group lol

That's so exciting! You'll love your Easter Eggers and Buff Orpingtons. They're the friendliest chickens I've ever had.

They finally arrived, my cute little balls of peeping fuzz have arrived

I had one egg that a hen hatched after the chicks were delivered, almost 2 weeks later, I had taken 2 of the shipped chicks that were calmer, and put them in with the new hatched chick for a few days, then added them all together...

The new chick it in the left corner, under the red chick.

You should have a lovely egg basket!

I am raising my first Welsummer and Easter Egger chicks. So far, the EE's are pretty friendly, and the Welsummer is happy to eat what I offer, but otherwise doesn't seem to want to associate with me.

My Buff Orp, Honey, is my grand dame and is extremely people-oriented. If Grandpa doesn't want them, they will still make a wonderful addition to your flock.

Good luck on your foray into chicken raising!

Thanks for sharing, I'm eggsited about the EE and the lake shore eggers! I also hope to maybe hatch out my own EE when my blue coppers mix with the legbar rooster!
