Cute, fuzzy chicks are mighty hard to resist, and chicken math is powerful, so what could you do? Got some real cuties there! Let us know how it all goes. Congrats on the new additions (eggs aren't nearly as much fun to cuddle!)

Yeah, they’re all so pretty! She had some HUGE roosters. And her Langshans are amazing. I have missed chick cuddles! And now I have so many thank you for all the advice

Were any of your colored egg layers bantams by chance?

Not from this group no. The breeder has bantam wheaten Ameraucanas that are adorable but I’m overflowing with chickens now so no more room but I did just hatch three bantam EEs that are so adorable!

I put weeks of research into my objectives which were same as yours: Rainbow of eggs; NICE breeds and also Different colored chickens so I can tell them apart easily. I have accomplished this! I have: Orpingtons/Pink; Creme Legbar/Blue; Easter Egger/Blue and Green (these were sold to me as Ameraucana's, they're not ) Welsummer/speckled dark brown (I will say she is not mean but she is top lady ) Black Copper Maran's/Very Dark Brown; Blue Laced Barnevelder/Dark Brown; Olive Egger/Olive; Silver Laced Wyandotte/Pink.

I mean what else was I going to do all winter beside plan for this! Have Fun!!

Yes! It’s so fun to have stuff to plan regarding the perfect eggs hehe! I also have a GLW that lays a light pink egg! And I planned on having blue layers but they are both boys So this year I added two guaranteed Ameraucana pullets and my ladies from last year have babies hatching as we speak that will be EEs and OEs! So I have pink, chocolate, chocolate speckled, blue, green and olive (eventually )

New lavender baby is Ameraucana/English Orpington
Splash Ameraucana
Blue Ameraucana

OMG so cute!! I was so chicken dumb 20years ago.... My first flock was 5 RIR's. My kids couldn't name them because they looked the same! Great layers but a few were mean. So I named them Crazy, Weirdo, Chicken, Fast Chicken, Red Chicken.
