Yes, those little chicks will bring some entertainment into your lives. Enjoy them!

I love this time of year, new chicks everywhere!

just called TSC. they only have buff orpingtons, and cornish in today. guess I will have to wait until tomorrow. they said that new chicks would be arriving all week. some RIR and others that I don't remember. better luck tomorrow. didn't research the buffs very much and don't know about them. the chick clasifier said they were medium egg layers. we are going to only have 3 chicks and don't know if they would lay enough for us. any buffers out there with more info?

Buff Orpingtons are decent layers but they don't compare to RIR. If you can only have 3 hens...I would go with RIR or Black Australorps for sure.

I, too, would go with RIR's or Black Australorps!

i three go with rhode island reds and white leghorns. best egglayers.

Happy Anniversary! Be sure to take a photo of yourself and your sweetie with the tweeties!

I go for Australorps, Wyandottes, and Orpingtons. Reliable egg layers and hardy, too.
