Post if you have chicks right now and/or waiting for some.

I have read almost the thread about "Raising chicks" and some other ones and I've looked that a lot of people have chicks today. Some are hatching their own and some are ordering their own. It looks like each year the world is filling up with more and more chickens don't you think? OK I want to know (and I know that y'all want to know too) who has chicks today or is getting some? and which breed? here are mine and luvchikies.

I think she changed her order a bit to include Buff and White Leghorns and Salmon Faverolles. I can't remember what else. My order originally had Delawares and Orloffs, but I changed my mind too lol.

I currently have 13 one month old bantams, eggs in the bator due to hatch on Valentines day and have to pick up some chicks from silkieluver_07 that she just hatched lol. Oh and I think TSC will have their first round of chicks in on Valentines day, so I will be there seeing what I can snag!

I just bought 15 4 day old leghorns from a local farmer. (They are 9 days old now and doing wonderful.) I also purchased 2 dozen RIR eggs from him that I put in the bator on the 27th. I'll go out and get some pictures later today

 

[luvchikies]

shelleyb1969 I like your avatar! I hope you have a GREAT hatch on monday :f. Everybody has a lot of chicks except us. But one day I will have all the breeds in "my breed list" I have crossed about 20 of the list and need about 50 more lol

. Sending you hatching vibes shelley

I bet those leghorns will be egg laying-machines! with LARGE eggs. I remember those RIR I had they looked funny when they were feathering out. They were yellow on the stomach and the little red feathers coming out of their crop

. Sending you hatching vibes too

 

[kyeschicks]

Dipsy Doodle Doo, where ever you are please answer this. Do the frizzles have a 5th toe? or was that a deformity?

 

[kyeschicks]

Hatching vibes coming your way Shelleyb1969 and suenrob
