This journey has been full of so many surprises, but today I think was the mot exciting of all! I came home and, of course, first thing I did was check on my babies! To my surprise and great joy there where two new chicks along with the other 4 in a plastic tote even bigger than the one we had before! My mom called the Farmers Exchange today claiming she "had a funny feeling" that they would have a few extra from the Wednesday, March 21 2012 batch and to her joy there was! She went to find that 5 Easter-Eggs had been left over from the batch and they had to get rid of them. She says that she felt bad only taking the two, but we couldn't handle 9 full sized chickens in our nice, but not the most luxurious coop in the world! So she went picked out the two bought a bigger tote and surprised me greatly when I arrived home. There is conflict about their names... My mom origionally said Bonnie and Connie which I thought was absolutely ADORABLE! But of course my younger sister can't deal and has to put up a fight! i will write more later... Until Then, Connor
Congratulations and Easter Eggers are the best, especially the muffed and bearded ones with all of their face floof!
Congratulations and welcome to BYC. I really like EE's too. I currently have an adult flock of 27 assorted breeds and 7 of them are EE's. I am getting more chicks in less than 2 weeks and 3 or 4 of these will be EE's. The green eggs are very popular with my egg customers.
That's a big flock! I have 6... but hope to upgrade... nice to here those good things! Great to hear from an EE owner! Keep me posted on you flock! Connor
