Getting new chicks tonight

[Naughty]

You are all just enablers!

I am so glad I found this site - it has enabled me to take better care of my girls - but all those pics of gorgeous girls are hard temptations for an addict...

I'm at 15 birds so far - but these are not to be named until I know what they are - they are named the "nuggets" until then ... hoping I got hens! I'll get pics tonight I Hope - it was too late last night

Did you just go for what appeared as eight girls? Knowing that there was probably a fella in there somewhere? Or did you pick a nice looking roo? And yeah, pictures are necessary!!! Any named yet?

I love chicken math. We had 4, one was a roo and went back to the farm we got it at and we ended up bringing 2 home. so had 4, lost 1, added 2 for a total of 5

This lady had a lot of them the same age - so I went for the smaller ones hoping they are hens - and the combs with no pink or red - and the darker ones for the barred rocks ...and the relatively submissive ones - but after we started catching them - they were all pretty hyper so it was hard to tell - but I've learned my lesson - no naming until they crow or lay eggs - cause I'll have to "man-up" as my dad says and have a special freezer boot camps for the roos... lol

I have 2 roos now and they were named - now I can't do the deed on my lb (lil bast*) roo and cant find him a home. Hoping that when I know what they are and havent made pets of them I can try some fresh chicken...

I took a pet carrier thinking I was only going to get the 4 - and it was late so I knew they would be roosting on the way home anyway. The lady figured out really quick that I would probably buy more if she had boxes - so she found some... lol I'm keeping her info - if I need more hens later - I'm going to contact her again - the coop was to die for!
