Well I finally convinced my DH to let me have 2 more chicks but I don't know what kind I want. I know I want them to be friendly, be good egg layers, and likely to go broody eventaully. Any suggestion?
Speckled Sussex or Barred Rock. They both are good layers and such sweet personalities! Our Speckled Sussex would talk to us lots.
Buff Orps or Black Australorps would fill the bill. Speckled Sussex would be a good choice too, but they are a little harder to find. Are you going to get them at a feedstore?
As a married woman, I am sure you know how to get what you want from DH ...I wanted a couple more chicks and I am ordering 23 more this week. I say BO and Rocks for friendly and broody. or Cochins.
Well my DH has actually helped alot with my chicks. I agreed to only get 2 more to make 8 then I will wait until next year. (But I am hoping to get a hen that will go broody to get chicks the natural way!!!) Either that or I will wait until the end of the summer, and if we have extra money after we buy school uniforms I might have the $$ to buy an incubator! But anyways I am trying to figure out which 2 chicks will hopefully cure my "itch".
