Well I went to look at some chickens saturday. Drove 2 hours away! Anyways, they had a lot of really pretty birds.
Our total purchase includes:
1 Trio Giant Cochins, black (I kept the rooster and 6mo hen, neighbor got the other hen)
1 Pair Ameraucanas (mine)
2 Partridge Silkies (one for me, one for her)
2 Blue Silkies (for her)
1 Black Silkie (for me)
1 Pair BB Reds (I gave the rooster to my neighbor because she's been wanting one since she's been helpin me with my chickens)
1 Pair Black Old English Bantams (mine)
1 Trio Blue Rosecombs (mine)
3 Swedish Ducklings, one black and two blue (mine)
Then yesterday (sunday) my neighbor took me to a friend of hers up the road that had show quality Old English Game Bantams. I'm not ready to start showing yet but I did really like his birds to I told him I'd buy some that didn't quite hit the mark for a show bird. I wound up with:
1 Pair Silver Duckwing
1 Pair Wheaten
Got all four birds for $45. They're show quality aside from small issues.
So I now have 16 new chickens and my first 3 ducks
That makes my total chicken count 39
with boyfriend building even more pens!
Going to take pictures today when I get off work. I'm gonna try to get pictures of the pairs/trios together so we'll see how that goes. lol
