My new coop is almost done any my old ladies and new ladies are all moved in. Little scuffles here and there but since I locked them all out of the house today they got used to eachother more. My coop needs white trim around the windows, and white garden boxes. Also I need some help naming three hens, any sugestions? A red shouldered yokohama, a silver laced cochin, and a partridge cochin.

Buff Brahma - Big Momma
Black Australorp/Jersey Giant - Yum Yum
Araucana - Chocobo
Gold Sex Link - Autumn
Rhode Island Red - Hensworth Von Featherbottom the Third
Red Shouldered Yokohama - ???
Silver Laced Cochin - ???
Partridge Cochin - ???

Got three eggs in 1 day! But I think the one I found in the poop board had been there for a couple days. Next day I went outside and one of my leg horns was in the nesting box. Went out later and found an egg! The 4 that are laying are about 17 weeks! So excited to he getting eggs everyday!

Im sorry...
We used Pearl's last egg for brownies I thought it was fitting. Eloise and Freya's went to a pregnant coworker of my husbands

Is anyone near the DFW area going to be ordering day old chicks in the next few weeks?

I'm just a small backyard chicken farmer and want to get two chicks to stick under a broody. I'm just wanting to get a welsummer and an easter egger (hatcheries call them Amerucanas I guess) and am hoping that someone is willing to order those two in addition to what they're ordering and I can pay you for them and pick them up.

Aw man! We have awful timing...lol
I JUST received my chicks from Ideal last Thursday. Although I don't think they had Welsummers

If you're willing to pay a little extra for shipping, you could check out Meyer Hatchery.
I got 2 EEs from there in January and was pretty happy with their quality. The trip is just a long one from Ohio. You can order as few as 3, it's just that shipping is expensive..
Or you could check out the feed stores. I'm in McKinney and I know the D&L AgMart has chicks pretty much year round.

If you're able to find someone to order with, try Ideal. I got my chicks the day after they shipped and every single one was happy and active. Didn't lose one!
