Hi Lynn, I think my total would be about 34 chicks on the way...

So cute. Love those polish! Here's my Buff Polish, Buffy. They are so fun to watch grow, especially when the head feathers start.

I had to laugh because our Buff Laced Polish is named Buffy also. We had two Buff Orpingtons, and I wanted to name one of them Buffy, but I was overruled, so when the Buff Laced Polish came in, I had dibs on naming her!

Got three eggs today and found the remainder of one that was eaten. I think the golf balls are doing a good job of confusing them. I think it's just my RIR that's cracking eggs open. She was attacking a golf ball early. Hopefully she'll give up or I'll have to figure out plan B.

Nice!!!!

I tried to name my last batch names that would kind of relate to the breed name or color, so Buffy worked and the name does really fit a polish chicken.

Our Buff Orpington is named "Big Mama". Not my choice, but that's her name.

Maybe if you add more distractions or change things around in the coop a little, the confusion will stop her?

I'll try it! I'll do anything to keep her from teaching the others. If all four were egg eaters, I'd be beside myself. Thanks for the idea!

Love those eggs. I wish I cold get one as dark as the one in the back right and also some blue eggs. One of my EE's lays an egg that is a bluish green color, but not pure blue like that one you have. Who laid the freckled ones?

I'm not sure which girls lay the speckled ones but I usually get 4 a day of them. I've been pretty busy this winter and haven't had much time to sit out in the coop observing. One of the olive eggs has speckles too, I think I might hatch my own olive eggers this year.

Notable-Nancy: your EE Izzy looks like a Dorking and Ameraucana cross. Beautiful coloring!

RoostersCrow,HensDeliver!: your favorite EE with the black muff and gold chest is stunning!

Hers is the one next to the white one. It's about the color that I like my coffee in the morning.

These are not all of the eggs represented, but some of them.

Here's a close up of Sally's egg. (It smiled for you)

This is the first SF I had, she didn't have any brown on her chest like Sally and was more yellowish white. I did not have her too long unfortunately. You can get a variety of colors with them too which adds to the fun.



You guys would sneak chicks into your order and make up small fibs to tell your husbands? Shame, shame!!!
I could never......

...at least not this year since I am not ordering any, maybe next year!

Her egg is pretty. I'm sure it will get bigger. I love all the shades of brown, cream, tan etc you get. I'll have to get a pic of mine to see all the shades bec. when I look at them
in person they all look the same but I guess there's subtle differences.

I got my "LynnSkelter' already!!!!! Super fast. I'll get a pic when it's filled

So you have 4 EE's and they all lay green right?

Got three eggs today and found the remainder of one that was eaten. I think the golf balls are doing a good job of confusing them. I think it's just my RIR that's cracking eggs open. She was attacking a golf ball early. Hopefully she'll give up or I'll have to figure out plan B.

Uh oh, I'm afraid to ask what plan B is

Oh my goodness! I am sooo excited! I found this thread a few days ago and have been reading through it because I had placed an order for Meyer's chicks on Feb. 1 and have been waiting IMpatiently for today (shipping day) to get here. Then I read a post about how nice customer service was and that their availability changes from time to time and you could even call and get them to add to your order. Last night when I went to bed, the chicks that I wanted (but weren't available) were still not available, but this morning...they were! Limited availability, but they were available!! So I shuffled the kids out the door to school and got on the phone, hoping that they hadn't packed my order up yet. I spoke with a super nice customer service lady who was so helpful. She was saving my order as I was telling her each different chick I wanted since the quantaties were so low, to ensure that they would be saved for me!

My original order was for 2 Dominiques, 2 black Giants, 2 Exchequers, 2 Barnevelders, 2 Anconas, 3 Welsummers, 3 Speckled Sussex. All females.

Today I was able to ADD: 2 Blue Splash Marans, 2 Blue laced red wyandottes, 1 Silver laced cochin, 2 Blue Andalusians, 2 Salmon Faverolles, 3 Easter Eggers, 2 Buff Orps, 2 RIRs, and a Meal Maker. All females.

YAY! I'm so excited! She said they would ship out about 2:30 today and I would get them tomorrow or Weds. I asked her what my "extra" would be and how that was determined. She said the computer had generated that my it will be the Meal Maker and another female Easter Egger. She also said to count them because there was a chance that there might be another extra included with an order that size.

Just wanted to share my experience with Meyer customer service. It's wonderful!

Welcome and that's a great assortment!! I had no idea when I placed my order I could have kept changing it as chicks became available. I would have been a nightmare for Meyer!!
