We just got our first chickens on April 11, 2020. Hubby had some chickens as a kid but its my first time. I went a little crazy ordering from the hatchery as I wanted some cute eggs along with different breeds. I ordered 20 and got 21. Here is a list of the ones I ordered Mt. Healthy Hatchery in Cincinnati OH
2 AMERAUCANA
1 BARNEVELDER
1 BLACKK GIANT
1 BLUE ROCK
1 BUCKEYES
1 COLOMBIAN ROCK CROSS
1 CREAM LEGBAR
2 CUCKOO MARANS
1 FRENCH BLACK COPPER MARAN
1 LAVENDER ORPINGTON
1 NOIR MARAN
1 OLIVE EGGER
1 RI BLUE
1 RHODE ISLAND RED
2 S L WYANDOTTE
2 WELSUMMERS
So I was at TSC one day picking up a few things and they had ducklings and bantams in the same trough
.This bothered me becuase the bantams were getting ran over by the ducks. They were cute too and on sale for 99cents so i figured I could at least rescue some of them and bring them home 
. I picked up 12 bantams and 6 ducklings. 1 bantam died after i got them home but the rest are doing well. Omg I love these duckies they are sooooo cute and sweet. So now we have 32 chickens and 6 ducklings.
We got chickens for eggs and to help with bugs etc. We have 5 sheep that are raised for wool. I'm a spinner, knitter, weaver, quilter, all around crafter. Hubby retired from the Air Force a few years ago and we now have a small farm (which ive always wanted, I was a city girl). We also have 2 cats that were supposed to be barn cats that came with the sheep but i'm a sucker and they ended up in the house lol.
I found BYC when researching information on chickens and coops etc. I love this website/community everyone is so helpful!
Now to figure out how to start an article to update as we go along with this project of coop/run build etc.
