I have 26 that were a rainbow layer variety from McMurray. It was my second rainbow layer order, and I have thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Wonderful birds, and SO much fun watching them and figuring out who everyone is.

Now I'm almost wishing I had gotten a bantam variety! Except I have been dying for blue babies, and I don't know if I'd have gotten blues in a variety order.

Good luck to all of us getting our early winter babies! Let's hope they arrive safely.

DITTO! As far as I'm concerned, they don't have to hurry to lay their cute little teeny eggs. They just have to hurry up and get here! I wanna hold 'em...

I went in with a friend who was ordering. She just added my 3 to her order.

I got cochins from Ideal six weeks ago and they are so adorable. They aren't nearly as skittish as the silkies I got in the same order, and they have feathered out so nicely. I have frizzles, and they're just the sweetest little poof balls! From what I've heard cochins usually take something like 28-29 weeks to start laying. All I know is it'll be late spring, and i'll be hatching everything I can get my hands on. lol
