Well after several months of reading up on everyones post viewing a million or so pictures, my DH and I finally placed our chicken order last night!!!
We ordered from McMurray. We had only wanted 12 so I thought we should order from another hatchery but DH would only order from McMurray. So we ordered 25 little babies! A few of them were straight run so we won't end up keeping the roos as we just want eggs for eating. I hope they will be mostly pullets, I have become addicted and want as many chickens as I can have. The hatch date is May 31st! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself until then. I guess I can just work on their coope. Here's our list, what do you think??
2- Blue Andalusians (DH's dream bird)
2- Araucana (my mothers request)
1- Dominique
1- Lakenvelder
3- White Silkies (because they're st. run only)
3- Black Silkies (st. run also)
3- Black tailed white japanese bantams (st. run)
1- Silver Gray Dorking
4- Sumatras (st. run and I secretly hope one is a roo, they are just so pretty!!!)
2- Cuckoo Maran
2- Silver Laced Wyandotte
1- Dark Brahma
I'm so excited I can't contain it!
Thanks so much. I'm sure I'll have a million questions once they are here.
