I was only counting the baby chickens, not the ducks and geese. In my head, they aren't chicks... they are cute babies though

I don't hav any guineas yet myself, but have been thinking about it. Sell her on the idea that they will really help take care of the ticks this summer.

We started out thinking we would get 6 or 7 babies. I now have 25. The last time I went to the feed store to pick up my EEs, I came home with 5 instead of 4. My SO didn't believe me when I told him I temporarily forgot how to count.

My coop will hopefully be mostly done this weekend, and I keep telling myself that we don't have room for any more...

Oooh, I want Welsummers, but I promised no more chicks.

Maybe a couple will just show up?

If they are indeed black sex links the females will be solid black with gold breast/collars and the males look almost identical to barred rocks. Sorry I didn't mean to be a downer. Maybe they messed up and they are barred rocks.

No worries. Not a downer. I figured it out AFTER I bought the little guys(?, girls?). I was disappointed because they are supposedly pullets. But I bought plenty of other birds so if they're roosters, well, they will probably not be around after they start crowing.

I'm guessing that there have been some interesting screw ups in shipments. I'm not sure the stripeys I have are leghorns since they don't have white ear lobes (I suspect welsummers, which they look like from the pictures). So, why couldn't the sex-links be barred rocks?
