We started with two adult sex links.
2
One was sick and culled.
2-1
We bought 3, five week old, BOs.
2-1+3
A couple months later i went to a swap to pick up several chicks but got there later so no chicks...BUT someone was trying to get rid of a young buckeye rooster. I took him home (really really love him BTW!!)
2-1+3+1
A couple months ago i asked someone about collecting some eggs during a trip. They said sure but, unfortunately, they had no eggs when trip time came.
2-1+3+1+0
I spoke to a woman about some buckeyes she was selling on here. She had already sold them but directed me to a woman selling off her old flock of them. We talked and i mentioned i would need to wait till spring to build a bigger coop. She agreed to hold them until then (Thank you!!!). We pick them up in April.
2-1+3+1+0+5
I saw an page for Hodges Farms and went to their site. This is where i really go nuts. I ordered 8 buff sussex, 6 wheaten marans, 8 wheaten ameraucanas. Later, i noticed she was also selling coronation sussex so i had 2 of those added to my order. Shipping in April
2-1+3+1+0+5+22+2
I see that the woman holding the buckeyes for me is also selling welsummers. I contact her to see if she'll be selling chicks. She says yeah and that she might also be able to hatch out some blue ameraucanas and some OE's. I tell her that i'd like some of each. She says she'll see what she gets from the birds (Yay!!). I'll be collecting them with the buckeyes in April.
2-1+3+1+0+5+22+2+c
The other day we went into TSC to see the chicks. We had planned to get "a couple" and were told they had a minimum of 6 rule. My husband, who at this point is getting very nervous says lovingly, "I guess we can get 6." When i tell him i want to get 3 of the "reds" as well he says, lovingly of course, "No!" "But..." " No! We have too many birds coming" "But honey...there will be roosters" "And what exactly are you planning to do with those?!" "Ok, i won't get any." "Oh, alright, but just the three more."
He really is wonderful...in so many ways. We pick out our 6 "chipmunk" EEs and 3 "reds"
2-1+3+1+0+5+22+2+c+9
The next day we run into the feed store for layer mash and they have their chicks in. We go to look and i really have little intention of getting any. I am quite content with my little puffballs at home...but...they have these teeny little, all brown, EEs with chocolate brown legs and little muffs. I get two. Hubby says, "Aww, they are really nice looking little things."

So here we are building a much larger coop.
