I know it's early but....Who's ready for 2024 Baby Chicks!

[LTAY1946]

I'm really exited for next spring. I'm gonna order some new breeds such as biefelders, Ancona, and Blue laced red wyondottes, I'm going to hatch a lot myself, and my friend is giving me peafowl eggs to hatch too!

I have 4 Anconas that were hatched about the 3rd week in May. Those kids never stop moving. Always on the go looking for something to eat. They had rather be chasing bugs and nibbling grass and weeds than in a coop or run.

Soooo, @LTAY1946 , I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary to put it so bluntly, but it seems to be. WHEN ARE WE GERTING PICTURES OF THE ASEEL×INDIO BOY

We took a few today but I don't like them. Going to try for some better ones tomorrow. I didn't flunk any of my photography classes putting out junk.

I'll be patiently waiting for them!

Here is a shot my DIL took with a phone. I prefer to use a real camera.

I held him for some bonding time today. He fussed a little but not bad for an independent kid. He eats out of my hand and will come when called.

In Europe you can’t order chicks. But I prefer buying hatching eggs for a broody anyway.

I plan to get in contact with someone who sells bantam speckled sussex eggs. I have an address of a breeder about 15 km from where I live.

not chicks, but i did order (from Metzer) another pilgrim gosling!! and 4 new ducklings - black runner , blue runner, chocolate runner, and a magpie! for April . i’m so eggcited already ! i usually get my ducklings in Feb or Mar, but I wanted the weather to be nicer so I can introduce the new gosling to her adopting parents outside every day until they fully accept her

Some breeds are sold out now for the entire 2024 season at Murray McMurray.
