Soooooo excited....wifey and I just ordered our first chicks from My Pet Chicken....we have a ship date of July 26th, which means we have to get started on building our coop!


As far as the chicks are concerned, we ordered eight. These were the parameters that we were using:

1. Calm and docile (we have a two year old daughter)
2. Good egg layers
3. As my wife says, a "pretty" egg basket
4. Interesting color/looking chickens

Ok, drum roll please.....these are the chicks we ordered:

1. Barred Rock
2. Salmon Faverolles
3. Blue Cochin
4. Buff Orpington
5. Buff laced polish
6. Easter Egger
7. Golden Laced Wyandotte
8. Silver Cockoo Maran

So....how did we do??? We will be building The Garden Coop, fyi...
