Haha I’ve already been a victim of chicken math slightly. I started with just the 5 Orpingtons and then saw the Diamond Duchesses when I was at the feed store buying supplies. They’re supposed to lay colored eggs. It’s a new breed exclusive to Family, Farm & Home stores that from what I’ve gathered is likely a cross between Barred Rock and Cream Legbar. I so hope they have the tufts of feathers on their heads like the Cream Legbars do, if this is true!Hi and welcome to BYC! Addictive, aren't they, the little rascals! Yours are adorable. I have some lavender Easter Eggers (EE) and think they are very beautiful. I am not familiar with Diamond Duchesses, but they look a lot like Dominiques, which I have on order and also find quite attractive. So many varieties! Are you familiar with the dangerous disease known as Chicken Math? All I will say is, figure out how big of a coop and run you think you'll need - then double or triple it! (Runs away, laughing)
