@KDOGG331....i had forgotten that they switched to assortment only in November......I got BO, BR, RIR,BA, and EE in my december assortment. I lucked out on my October and got a Welsummer.....i had a smudged one that i thought was a SS but turned out RIR......between both hatches, I got 11/15 hatch and 75% boys!! they were fun chicks.....my girls were rehomed and my boys were quite tasty!!

yes a dozen is a good number!! did you check what breeds are available for your shipping week?

That’s what I figured! Although I was so tempted to get 24 in case some didn’t hatch haha but I think 12 is a good number. Didn’t want to spend a ton of money for my first hatch either. And no I didn’t but that is an excellent idea!! Every single other egg was sold out which is why I got the assortment, though I probably would have chosen it anyway cause it’s more fun, but I didn’t think to look at the available chicks lol

If I were to order, I’d get the ... whatever they call the assortment of late hatchers. I can handle everything from meat chickens to geese, so it would be cool to see what I got.

They have this one.

He’s in with Garfield. As in suction cup to the back window of the station wagon in the 80’s Garfield.

Wait what was it before? Now I’m confused lol

But oh wow that’s a lot of boys!!

I’m not sure I could eat the boys. Idk. I think I could quail but idk about chickies. I think I might try to sell them or even give them away for free. I think I could here.

Seems like you got pretty good breeds!

Yeah, that’s the one.

I would love to order that one one day but I’m not really prepared to deal with some of the possible species I could get lol

 

[BullChick]

That is why I didn’t get them when I had my original flock. Turkeys and chickens were my limit. Life is so much different now.

I don’t think I could even do turkeys haha

Maybe one day I could get it though.
