After nearly a year of indecisive wavering, I finally settled on a breed, and this week took the plunge. My newly acquired fluff balls are here, and I can't wait for spring.
I settled on Wyandottes, and though I requested gold laced, I see what I think are silver mixed in there, and another one that looks nothing like the colors of everyone else - same pattern but different. And I'm also pretty sure that there are some roos in there, although they were supposedly sexed and separated... so I guess we will see. THey are still small, so the waiting game begins.
About me: I live in north eastern PA, and we have about 7 acres, with nearly 40 next to us, on the other side of a stone wall. We are in the middle of no where, on a mountain, and have a stream bordering us on two sides. Loosely translated, we have a lot of mud, plenty of flash floods, a significant mosquito problem, and bold predators.
We have a horse, a pony (who is in training currently, and in for a big surprise when she returns to her now pony sized stall, recently divided to become a coop in the back) two German Shepherds, and the in house pets - a rabbit and two cats, both of whom are convinced they are actually teenagers (as in human beings, allowed to fuss, whine, and demand attention whenever they want something).
Excited to have found this thread! I've done a bit of reading already, already learned a bit lol.
