I never thought I’d be a chicken lady but it’s official I am. 
I got my first chicks ever the end of March. 2 Easter Eggers, 2 Buff Orpingtons, and 2 Black Australorps. I’m oddly a little afraid of birds so my goal was getting and raising the friendliest and best egg producers. No eggs yet, they are 8 and 9 wks old now. I got the EE’s a week before the others, that was stressful but all turnout. 
They are now my babies and I love them so much. They all love to be picked up, held, and petted to a certain degree, some more than others. Each breed or kind I have has one bigger than the other. Hopefully all pullets but I guess we shall see. I worry some or all will be Roos frequently, it actually keeps me up at night. I was told they were addictive, I didn’t believe it. I can’t wait till next year, I already want more.
Maybe a Black Copper Marans, Cuckoo Marans, Welsummer, Olive Egger, Barnevelder, some Laced Wyandottes? Got to collect them all.
