Oh my gosh guys, do NOT get bantams!! That is unless you want to make sure that you never have any eggs to set or sell!!
I have 4 hens with chicks right now, and 7 total hens that are brooding!! Two of them just started yesterday, and one started today! I'll have baby chicks coming out my ears before long!
Sing with me>>>Old MacShelley had a farm...EIEIO....with a chick chick here, and a chick chick there, here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick.....
ETA: Uh, make that 8 broodies, we just lost another silkie
