Existential dread
Chirping
Hello from the west shore of Lake Michigan.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
In spring, bought some hatchery birds from Tractor supply. Then bought some locally hatched birds. Then started hatching birds.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
You're gonna make me count?
(3) What breeds do you have?
Lets see...
Hatchery birds, oldest first:
3 Wyandotte, a silver laced, gold laced blue and a white Columbian.
2 buff Chanteclers
An Easter Egger surprise from the Ameraucana bin
An Australorp
A RIR
Two Splash English Orps
Two Welsummers
Birds I've hatched:
3 Spangled Russian Orloff (2 weeks old)
Two Lavender d'Anver Bantams (1 week old)
One Phoenix bird presumably a Golden Duckwing (1wk) (Breeder called them Dun Phoenix, but I cannot find any info on such a breed)
10 embryos went into lockdown today. All mix breed F1 to F3 colored eggers.
Locally sourced birds
An EE x BCM roo
A Norwegian Jaerhon roo
A crested cream legbar
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Having tiny edible dinosaurs that poop delicious treats.
