Picking up some new chickens this week!!!

SILKIES!!!!!!! I found them on craigslist.

Bantychickmom, the lady behind the pet shop wasn't home and it didn't look like she had anymore anyway.

I found 1 white rooster, 1 white hen and a blue hen on craigslist. The guy was just selling the rooster but I asked him if he would sell me a hen too, he offered me 2 hens. All 3 for $20. After the proper quarantine time from the rest of my flock, the blue hen will move in with Blind Tiny and the white pair will get a breeding pen.

I'm so excited! I hope to one day start selling hatching eggs.

I can't wait to post pictures!!!

Me and DH visited Bantychickmom on Saturday and I have to say that I am even more addicted after seeing all the different breeds she has.

Tammy, I was so surprised when DH said after leaving your house that he loves the Old English and he wants some!

OMG - another person has been assimilated!

Just wait until you start breeding the pair...
You'll want more pairs of different breeds too!

Ok question:

The guy emailed me back and said they are about 2 years old. Will the still be laying good at 2???

 

[rooster-red]

I have several 2 yr olds that are laying just as well as my year olds.
