My family: you can have chickens when we move out to the country.
City Girl/Nerd/Me:Ok, just checked out 7 books on raising chickens from the library, I was thinking we could do 6 of them.
My Family: This should keep her occupied.
4 years later, I'm looking into a 13th chicken lol.

You started with 6? I started with three.
At that time, my family was as captivated as me.
I came back from school one day and they'd bought four chicks.
It's not me that's the problem but I do all the work.

Well, they tell me the kinds they like, and I tell them I can make it happen lol.

Alright, I think I'm ordering a Austra White, Partridge Cochin, and Black Jersey Giant. I might get a Lavender Orphington instead of an Austra White. Any suggestions? My family said I might be able to get one. I'M GETTING 3 MORE CHICKENS EVERYBODY!!! I will post pics when I get them

Everyone on my poll thread has said to early to tell? I think its a cockerel, because of the wattles starting to grow, but that didn't help my case.

Lavender orps are pretty cool.
So are all those breeds.

If I can't convince my family by August 10th, they will be sold out, also there is only one left for August 10th, so probably already sold out lol. Jersey Giant and Cochin won't be a problem, unless someone orders a couple hundred of them, Wich I don't think will happen.
