I feel like I have been asking variations on this theme, so forgive me. But until I actually have my real live fuzzy butts I have to obsess and try not to add more fuzzy butts to the ones I haven't got yet. I should at least get THESE chicks before I start getting more...
So I am going to have more chicks than I planned on. I am trying to decide if I can bring myself to get rid of two of them before I become too attached, while simultaneously finding new chicken breeds that I MUST HAVE!
There are three adults in the household. We don't want to supply eggs for the world. We know the eggs will be smaller. We want to have fun with our egg laying pets. These are the chickens that I should have by Wednesday:
Araucana*
Araucana*
Barred Rock
Brahma
Cochin
D'anver
Silkie
Welsumer
Wyandotte
*Yes they are really, truly Araucanas and not EE. They are from a breeder and the rest are hatchery.
If you were to take two off of this list, which would it be. If you couldn't live without one of these chickens which would it be? If you feel I need to add a chicken, which would it be? Would adding or subtracting two of these make a huge difference?
