Here's the virtual tour of my coop and barn!! Some parts are still in progress.

I has me a linguistics question. How does a U make a W sound? But it's still a nice coop.

Old maps have the river labeled "Whiskey Chitto." But sometime it's spelled Ouiskichitto. So everyone is confused. Just imagine listening to sales people trying to pronounce it over the phone. We get lots of giggles.

I'm don't how many hens "horstmanspoultry" has but before you order anything from them I would also ask him if he would be willing to try a different shipping method. Like Sally always says "ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER  REQUEST HOW YOU WANT YOUR EGGS!!!" Yes, it may cost extra to get them packaged better but better packaging means less headaches for you and your eggs should arrive in better condition. I'm buying some eggs for EHAL from a lady in NC and I made sure before hand that she was willing to package them how I wanted. Be clear that your willing to pay the extra cost for it as well. There are reasons behind the way Sally packages her eggs. The lady I'm getting eggs from read both the documents and was able to actually learn from them, even though she's been shipping eggs for many years.

What type are you ordering?

I could understand it if it was Ouiskichitto cause that would make more of a W sound than a U would

Dominiques. I'll probably also be stopping out at Horstmans to get some "local" eggs as well.

Who has the link for how much weight an egg should lose before lockdown? Is it 15%?

What is the biggest (if any) difference between the Barred Rock and the Dominique? I have always had Barred rocks, but I got a Dominique chick from the feed store. It's about 3 months old, and it looks EXACTLY like the barred rock - maybe a little darker. Is one like black with white bars and the other white with black bars?
This is my barred rock



And the Dominique is the black and white one (between the buff and red ones) in the mix below - sorry about the crappy photo.

Looks like 12 to me!

what do ya'll think?

So my first year raising chickens I was originally just going to get 6 hens I ended up with over 50 birds in 2 short months ... I had become crazy chicken lady with horrible math skills.
