I've ordered my chicks from Welp and they will be here May 29!

In the meantime, my husband is building the cutest chicken coop I could imagine. Hopefully, it'll be as predator-proof as he promises. 5 years ago we gave up on chickens after foxes and raccoons got everything one by one. So starting over! I'm starting to worry though. I ordered 30 pullets from Welp, and it seems like years ago, there weren't as many choices that were sexed, most were straight runs. I'm curious to find out how many cockerels turn up in your pullet orders. A couple roosters would be fine, as I think the hens always seem happier with a rooster, and he does seem to protect them. But I will die if I end up with 15 roos!! :/

Anyway, I've ordered 5 red leghorns (anyone have these? do they lay as well as white and brown ones?), 5 EEs, 5 GLWs, 5 naked necks (an old favorite of ours), 5 speckled sussex, and 5 black minorcas! Hopefully, I'll be getting a colorful egg basket with those! It's so hard to decide which to get!!

Can't wait to get my order in! :)
