Ugh. So pretty, but I swore to my family that I wouldn't hatch chicks again till spring, and I think they might kick me out of the house if I try to turn my incubators back on. Apparently 200 birds is "enough" or some such nonsense, I don't know. I would love if I could get their contact info though, I'd be super excited to get some birds like that come next year... you can bet my incubators will be running and ready the very first day of spring.

In no time at all I'll have as many as you have LOL. My family will be swimming in feathers!!

@QueenMisha I sent you a personal email..... Here are a few pictures of the French Marans x Ameraucana mix's half siblings from the same breeder. 5 out of the 8 half sisters started laying eggs only in the last month and we're already getting some nice big Olive eggs.

Lol. I'm at probably 175 right now and it's become my low point for the year. If I don't hit 400 this spring I'll eat my hat.

I wish I lived in the country! I have 19 and the city I live in allows up to six. Crazy to think of moving just to have more chickens. Kern
