Yup! You really need the Wheatons!kemclaughlin, that is GREAT! I don't blame you! It's hard to resist it with all the different breeds--especially when you find one you want! I can't wait to see what your house will be like by the end of this all! (Probably like mine)
And OH NO!!!!! The Wheaten Ameraucanas I wanted? THEY HATCHED!!!!!
I'm trying to casually gauge my boyfriend's interest or complete disapproval to me driving out there tomorrow and picking them up.... Not to mention the integration problems I may have (but I can find a solution for that, right?!). The problem is when I told him, he just said, "Oh really?" and started to fall asleep. I've considered saying, "If I get rid of a typewriter can I have more chickens?"
But I want themEvery day I've confinved myself I'll keep a BBS Ameraucana rooster. But it would be SO much better if I could keep a Wheaten rooster! Right? And to do that, I would have to buy wheatens....................
Here is where the chicken math kicks in. Over the fall and winter months we start searching all over the internet and discovering all of these awesome breeds! SOOO many beautiful birds. So much encouragement from BYC! So little will power! This spring we tried to control ourselves. We agree that we would only get chicks from the feed mill and we would only get another 6 laying hens. But then we walked into 
e Had to get six more! Two weeks later, ANOTHER awesome breed!!! 
6 more. Now some of the oldest chicks might be roos! Well, that is no good! Now we have no choice but to get another 6! 
WHAT HAPPENED!!! WE USE TO BE NORMAL! Now all we talk about at my house are chickens. There has even been talk of getting 25 meaties. Anyways, we are now drawing up plans for a coop addition come summer. So this is how it is going. 6=12-2+8+6+6+6+25?= 61.......... 61!!!! But meaties and roos don't count so I think we are closer to 30. At least we sell a lot of eggs!
