VERY pretty... love the SLW's. Are they friendly or standoffish? Make sure you post pics of the Welsumer eggs!Here are my chicks from Meyer this year - about 3mo old in this pic: 2 SLW, 2 Welsummer, 1 Barnevelder, 1 Golden Campine and all appear to be pullets as ordered.
We need some new pics of chicks... especially EE's whenever you have time. I know you're busy! So glad it wasn't a stroke.
Sounds like a GREAT hubby you have. Such peace of mind that they will help when needed and you can leave if you have to. You're very lucky. Well, not lucky, you chose correctly
I do think some eggs look pink but my family keeps saying cream but they're all boys so what do they know right! I'll say pink-ish and it will make me happy. Plus the more they lay the color changes-lightens so they may get a bit more pinkish. But, they are what they are and I do enjoy being with them. I never thought I'd like them so muchI REALLY want both the bcm & welsummer but I already have 6 on my order after I'm done getting rid of the cm & 2 extra polish from my last order. My husband thinks we are only getting 4 more and he wasn't thrilled about that! So idk how I'm gonna explain 4 extra chicks. Plus he thinks I got a "free shipping coupon" and it's only costing like $20, I was hoping he wouldn't notice the $60+ differenceAnd I LOVE izzy, She is prob my fav chicken! & your BA's are so pretty, making me want one! I have 2 more EEs on my 9/30 order. I love how its like a surprise, you never know what color your gonna end up with or what color egg they will lay. What age did yours end up getting their adult colors? Is it me or do some of your eggs look pink? I love your egg tray btw, I'm looking for one but haven't found one I really like yet.
I'm so sorry, I really hope your lav orp. Pulls thru! I'll be thinking about her.
LOVE your 'free shipping coupon' idea!! I don't even remember what I paid for shipping... did I pay that much?? Wow. But it was worth it. When people ask me what a chick costs and I say around $3 they can't believe how cheap they are but that's without shipping of course.
I love Izzy too but boy she's such a spazz if she is ready to lay an egg. She paces back and forth and goes in and out of the coop for hours till she finally lays it. But it's all worth it for that green egg!! As far as how old until I could tell their colors... I don't think I could tell until they were about 6-8 weeks and then they still changed a lot. I could always see it better if I took a picture of them. Then I would really notice the colors.
AND I am a HUGE thrift shop shopper (we have about 10 in a 30 minute radius) so I found that about 2 days ago in a thrift shop... perfect condition and only $2.00! Can't beat that! It is very Autumn looking so I think I'll have to find one for every season!
My lavender orp died. I couldn't save her, I want to cry , she was one of my favorites. Why does this always happen with your favorite!
Hopefully our DH's don't come on here and see the REAL deal!! I do think some eggs look pink but my family keeps saying cream but they're all boys so what do they know right! I'll say pink-ish and it will make me happy. Plus the more they lay the color changes-lightens so they may get a bit more pinkish. But, they are what they are and I do enjoy being with them. I never thought I'd like them so much 
that's why my iPhone & iPad have a pass code on it!! I would be in soooo much trouble if he saw what I was really up too. And I agree with you it's pinkish! On 3 orders I've spent over $120 in shipping. My silkie hen will be 19 weeks tomorrow, so I'm very impatiently waiting for her to lay. You can't beat that for $2 ESP when anyone I've seen was at least $20 and they didn't look as nice as yours IMO.
