They are also sold out, at least until June, but there's a waiting list, and may still not be available. Dang.

I guess I should get more hatching eggs, and hope for more pullets?

Do you just want them for broody hens or are you going to show/breed?

I have lots of land and all my birds are nestled on 1/2 acre because I am not carrying water to the back 40. My birds could free range for miles and rarely get over 50 feet from the coop. Guess they have everything they need close to home. Although I do plan on building a large chicken tractor on a hay wagon with 55 or 110 gallon water storage/rain barrels. I have areas of pasture with old cannery grass the beef don't eat off. Mostly because the beef have 50 acres of pasture so they can be picky. I am hoping if the chickens clear the old out the beef will like the new.

Those land acreage make me dizzy! Me and my 1/12 of acre garden!

We have 10 baby chicks! Our classroom incubating project has been a success. First time using my incuview incubator in my 4th grade classroom. I originally set 20. We have a few left in the incubator that have pipped but they have had no movement for a while. I am not comfortable with assisted hatching so I am letting them be for now. These are eggs from my personal flock of barred rocks. The few light ones I think are eggs mixed with my barred rock rooster and my golden wyndotte hens.

Double Congratulations since I see lots of females!

Have you checked your local craigslist? Lots of chicks this time of year, I've seen a couple silkie chick ads already, though they still won't be sexed.
