IT HAPPENED!!!

Chicken math is real. I have now ended up with 30 chickens, 29 different kinds will you add to your flock in the spring?

Wow. I can see how this could happen. If my coop was bigger..... Lol. I had a hard time this year but had to restrain myself. Now struggling to figure out what 8 for next year. I want to get a few extras in case any die or are roos. Then just re-home extras but it will be hard to choose what ones.

Are you going with feather legs only?

She was saving them up so she could lay a bunch for you! That's why she waited so long to start once you thought she was ready!

Are all your chickens laying yet

I have 10 laying right now (7 actively, 3 others coming out of molt and should resume shortly)... there are 4 others close to start of laying, and then 10 that are only 16 weeks old, so they will be a while yet!

no. I know I want a couple more EE (want more pretty eggs), I will get 1 or 2 Sicilian buttercups since that was my daughters fav that ended up passing away. Then a buff Brahma, another Salmon Faverolles, I will hatch some cochins and keep 1 or 2 I think. then if I can find them thinking maybe a cream Leghorn since yours was so cute and I want more pretty eggs. LOL and debating on an orpington (would love lavender but they are hard to find)

so have 7 breeds I want but want doubles of a couple since the doubles would be a different color most likely. Not sure if I would keep a black cochin and splash or 2 splash (if I get them) though. then the EE would be different colors most likely.

I have 3 out of my 7 laying right now. 2 of the others "should" be laying soon since they should have started between 6-7 mo and they are getting close to 8 mo. LOL then 2 that don't even look close to ready, but "should" start around 8-9 mo.

No we won’t be able to add due to city restrictions. We live in town and we are only allowed 4 hens no roosters. We only intended to have three. Emma, Kat, and we had an australorp who didn’t make it 24 hours. TSC requires you to take a minimum of 4 chicks at a time, we asked for only 3 due to our community. Luckily they let us. But when we went back a week later to ask for one more bird to replace the one we lost my wife couldn’t say no to two- so 4 it was after all! Lol so we will stick to these girls for now

We are only allowed 5 and no rooster and it is hard because there is so many different breeds. Our coop can hold more than five. We can get 2 more though.
