well.....I thought the leg bars I got on Saturday (plus the Ameracaunas I supplemented with on Monday) were going to be the focus of my baby love for a while....Until I walked out into my barn area yesterday and found THESE!!!!! Introducing Hercules and Billy the angora goat bucklings! Total surprise!!!! I got my goats in November, a buck and 2 does. I suspected she was pg, but figured that I had a couple months yet. She obviously was pg when I got her from the breeder!! I am pretty sure my other doe is pg too, so I am living in fear, I am still a bit traumatized from finding these little ones!! Luckily she is the experienced momma and is doing awesome. Me??? Not so much!!!

What a fun surprise!! They are adorable!! Lucky you

Hi Everyony,

Im about to order through a hatchery. I know Mc Murry is the mist known. Has anyone used a different hatchery like Cakle or any other. I noticed that the one I mentioned is cheaper. Any down side? Thanks

What are you looking for? Lots of people here with chicks. I ordered birds once through my local feed store from McMurray and was happy with what I got. They all survived so that was great.

I had to put down my Polish roo today. While I was out working my horses he got stepped on and his whole leg was torn off...... His name was Elvis and his lady Pricilla is very lonely in the coop all by herself now.  I got them both from the September meet up and the family just fell in love with them

On a better note, one of my two frizzled cochins laid her first egg today

Terrible I'm very sorry. That must have been hard for you. I have a hen with a broken leg...I was wondering if she somehow got stepped on. Check out FB California Poultry Page. There are some Polish breeders there.

It depends what you are after.

You should look at odysseyranch.com - they are in Lancaster and you wont pay shipping. They also pride themselves on developing breeding to the APA standards.

Thanks for the info. Im looking for a couple of production chicks, and a couple that can give me variation color like marans, ect
