In the Brooder
Hi, My name is Laura & I live in Milton where I have six acres and have Tennessee Walking Horses. Hoping to increase my farm way of life 
I spent three years researching breeds, coops, etc. and this past November I ordered ten female chicks from My Pet Chicken and they arrived in April. I wanted a mix of good layers, pretty colored egg layers, and unique looking chickens. Eight of them survived and are now living in the coop full time and loving life! I have enjoyed them so much I just ordered six more bantams to replace a mille fleur d'uccle and an ameruacana bantam I lost. My older babies are 7 weeks old and are:
Black Copper Maran
Black Laced Wyandotte
Cream Legbar
Buff Brahma Bantam
Polish Crested Bantam
Buff Silkie
Lavendar Orpington
Rhode Island Red
Here they are chilling in the coop this morning. Everybody can fly up to a roosting pole to sleep at night except for our poor little silkie. She sits underneath them at night and pouts
I just added another new thread under "help identify baby chics" with pictures of my six new chicks, so please take a look if you can and let me know what breeds I got. As I said, my new ones are all bantams, I ordered two ameraucanas and an assortment of 4 bantams because their selection was liminted this time of year. Thank you! I look forward to gleaning all sorts of fantastic advice from all of the chicken experts here!
