We started with 2 Delawares and 3 faverolles that we got from Green's Feed in April. One of the Delawares turned out to be a rooster, but the other doesn't quite rule the docile faverolles because she's outnumbered. In the spring we're going to concentrate on layers, but I'm going to get a silkie pullet just because I want one. Otherwise we want RI Reds, australorps, easter eggers, black copper marans (only one... those chicks are expensive!), wyandottes, a buff brahma, and a Plymouth rock. I already have four clients (I'm a massage therapist) asking to buy my extra eggs, but 4 hens isn't quite enough for our family yet.

I'm a mile from downtown, in the old southwest (now Midtown.) I swear there's at least one house keeping chickens every 3 blocks in this neighborhood.

I started in old southwest (on nixon) and once i realized how much i enjoyed these chickens i moved to a bigger property, so now im more north. I like to think i pioneered that neighborhood to start chickening! (but then again, i am terribly full of myself.) I have two silkie chicks right now that i am thinking i may not keep...

I will gladly buy one from you! If I get one from mypetchicken.com, they're $10 for a pullet plus shipping. I would like to get two, but don't want to pay $20 for two chicks with a 10% possibility of being roosters. I'll remind you in the spring... I'm sure I'll still be around.

If you decide you don't want them, I'll provide a good home. However, if they turn out to be roos, I'll have to rehome again.

Sunny I think im gonna look into metal sheds. do you know the cons of them? I imagine they get really hot/cold...idk. i realy just wanna get the girls into a big shed instead of spending the money to finish the second smaller coop

No problem! That is expensive. Especially when you add shipping!

Aubrey are you getting rid of the frizzle girl? She is sooo cute!

Never mind you answered my question already.

ruby the white frizzle? No way! i LOOOOOVE her so much! I did get silkie chicks though in my last order on impulse and im not sure i wanna do buff silkies. If i do decide to do silkies i either wanna do splash or white. im not quite certain why i got them. I was on an ordering roll!

Happens to all of us!

This spring I am getting EEs and lavender ameraucanas. The first time I got ameraucanas I was more concerned with egg size. This time I am concentrating on temperment (egg color and size will probably suffer but that's ok). I'm hopin for more of Genny's orps too.

Oh, and more FBCMs from Wynette! Hopefully some girls this tme!

I can provide for them now... it'll give me a good focus until I can start gardening again. But I know that everyone has a different outlook on their babies and some want to find a permanent home. But I'm sure I can find a home for a silkie rooster.

If you do decide to rehome them, please let me know. I can pick them up.

Cool! Some of your wish list for spring has already been filled!
