How is your flock today?

[Sablehaven]

Where are you getting him from? I want need some blue aussie day old pullets. What hatcheries have them?

I don't recall which place, it is saved on my mother's computer. I know they aren't too rare, but this is our very first time buying online

If either of us remember, I will tell you!

It's always nice to have members drop by and post on how their flock is doing?

We just had our first little dusting of the white stuff this morning and I went out and snapped a few pics to post later of them in the snow, it was all their first time with snow.

@Sablehaven, Thanks! Since hubby is ok with me getting more chickens, I plan to get more chickens.

@Sally PB Chicken Math in motion, That's awesome!

Now I just have to: find a hatchery that sells them and I can order only 3 or 4, OR, convince convince my local TSC to order the 25 minimum when they have chick days this spring.

Or maybe you could find someone up there near you that would split the order with you?

Splitting an order might be a possibility, but I'd have to really look for some people who need 21 chickens. 4 for me and that's the max I would want to put in my coop and run.

I was all excited when I saw Welp hatchery had 5 as a minimum. Nope, that's per breed.

The minimums go down in spring. McMurrays changes to 15 on April 1st with some breeds qualifying for a minimum of 6 with a fee (a fee that's practically the price of 7 chicks!). The 6 needs "eligible breeds" but it's still mix and match within the eligible breeds.

Ooh, that must have been exciting (and terrifying) for them! Did they seem to like it?
