Chickens for my Future Coop:
Spoke to my partner about getting these when we build a bigger coop and he is happy with whatever I would like so this is the official list

Do you know breeders around us?

No sorry, not if your looking for chickens. I'm breeding smaller chicks. Quails are my love. Got no room for chickens in house yard.

Ok love. If you do come across anyone can you please let me know?

What chicks are you looking to get?

I’m starting with 3 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Hampshire Reds, and 3 Silver laced Wyandottes, with a Silver laced Wyandotte Rooster.

I was thinking about Hampshire Reds but when I looked them up it says they can be aggressive so it put me off abit.

I can't wait to see them!!!

Coco laid 3 days in a row. 8 eggs in total so far.

@KLIL My new hampshire reds have always been somewhat aggressive from what I've seen, but I've also noticed that that aggression seems to keep all hen flocks in check and toughens em up, they're good at keeping pred watch too plus roos often break up any tussle that gets out of hand. But I've never had any issue of them being any meaner to young introduced chicks or new birds than other breeds in my flock(Dori didn't do more than play curious auntie after getting over some initial jealousy when Penny reared a clutch last summer). I will note that they are EXTREMELY TALKATIVE almost as bad as my Delaware was but thier very personable, Dori will jump the side fence and walk whith me to fill the feed buckets every morning and waits at the back door for pets if I haven't said hello to her! I wouldn't vote them for a tiny suburban backyard flock but if you've got a good sized coop and run they're lovely! My best layers next to my past Delaware Taco

My brooder is on day 18 and one of the bantam eggs is wiggling about as the chick positions itself! You can hear it's little beak tapping away preparing for coming of hatch day! None of the others have even stirred yet so I have bets on this egg being the first to hatch! Air cell is even further along than others for some reasonI noticed :/ Wouldn't be surprised if it hatched on day 20 rather than 21

Sending good hatching vibes your way
