Well, I hoped for and mentioned when I called for a Rhode Island Red and a Barred Rock Cockeral and that I would like to get some Delaware's in the spring. Then I asked what I might get this time of the year and that I liked pretty much anything that peeped
. She told me this time of the year they had a mix, some brown egg layers, Black Australorps, Americauna/Easter Egger (I think)? and broilers, and she would make a note to the Packers about what I was hoping for
! Well, she did, because on the outside of my box was a label with a note that mentioned I wold really love a Rhose Island Red male and a Barred Rock male
! So, when I opened the box I was so excited to see the one sweet red Rhode Island Red (praying he is a he) and several Barred Rock with yellow dots on their heads, several Black Australorps, beautiful black and yellow with little yellow flecks around their eyes and that are like rolling thumper marbles or clowns all popping out of a car at the circus, they are zipping everywhere (very excited because after she mentioned them I read that they are great layers of brown eggs and docile, gentle and really beautiful black chickens, kind of fluffy and shiny with I think some green sheen?), there were also two solid black faced chicks that I am not quite sure about, but am thrilled with, very bright eyed, several light yellow chicks, possibly Cornish or Leghorn that are so sweet or ?, several two toned butterscotch yellow and light yellow chicks that I am unsure of ? but are beautiful and very calm
! I am very pleased and can't wait to see what is what
! They are all very healthy and the Black Australorps are already jumping to the edge of the brooder and watching over things, too cute
! Our Grandson was in love with his and Maw Maw's "peeps" and now we have another generation of chicken lovers
! My Daughter-In-Lovely and son are building a coop for some this spring and I have a feeling it will be either Rhode Island Reds, they are such faithful layers and such great pets for children or the "gentle and docile" Black Australorps (checking them out-lol, so far they are looking very kid friendly and full of personality
! Hmm, maybe both, she is a baker and could use lots of farm raised fresh eggs
!
