4. Surprise special straight runs
5. Surprise special pullets

I'd get suprise pullets, then if there's a breed your particularly fond of you can get a roo and then have more of that breed. for instance... I really would like a barred rock roo as I've fallen in love with my BR's sooo much personality!

I hear ya. I've got a BR pullet that was given to me by the feed store guy because somebody had come in and bought all the chicks except ONE. Who does that?

She's a hoot!

I can never make decisions like that. I'd probably end up getting some of each....

No kidding! And it doesn't help that my son wants ducks.

I'd get the surprise chicks probably. Not sure if I'd get sexed or straight run though.​

Looks like the surprise pullets have the lead! I'll be placing the order tonight.

I'll keep ya posted on what I get.

Woot! Can't wait to see!!

I would never get any of the surprise orders, sometimes they will give you chickens that they don't know what to do with and don't know what they are.
It's best to go with bantams, you can get as many as you want and they'll take up 1/2 the space as standards do. Almost every standard breed comes in bantam form and they are still great layers! The eggs aren't as big but you'll get plenty!
