Silkie's are very winter hardy actually. I've been raising them/breeding them for years.

Meyer's Chicks are ordered. Hatching on the 18th of July. No spring chicks available this year apparently.

We had to order our Meyer chicks back in November and still missed our preferred dates, they sold out FAST. April was the earliest available

I didn't have the money then, I always order January, or February for spring chicks. Didn't work out this year.

What did you order?

Oh, good to know. I may look into them next year. I can't resist chicks with lots of fluff or big fat heavies. Even my dogs are huge!

You're welcome.

Silkies can tolerate temperatures that are below zero. Had a crazy rooster that slept out on the outside roost in -20°F night time weather.

Nice mix.

I've ordered from a local breeder (seriously only 10 minutes away) and I've got

5 Ameracauna, "surprise me" for a mix of Blue/Black/Splash
2 Lavender English Orpingtons.

They won't be here until April but I'm so excited!
I've been wanting some Niederrheiner birds from McMurray but they're so hard to get, even straight run.
