Utah!

Hey everyone! Long time no post. I am falling victim to chicken math. I am working on building a bigger coop and we are going to add some girls to the flock.
Does anyone know if the IFA in Hyde Park has chicks yet and if so, what breeds? We are really just looking to have a diverse flock. Currently we have 1 GSL, 1 BSL, 2 EE's and 2 Cuckoo Marens. Any suggestions on what to get next?

Hey! Yeah! Someone may have answered you later in the thread, but here is my two cents... The Hyde Park has lots of chicks! (I really like their new set up!) They have all of your basic breeds (RSLs, BRs, RIRs, BAs, California Whites, Easter Eggers, and I also noticed some bantam breeds...

Cal-Ranch also has chicks, but their seleciton is much more limited (RSLs, BSLs, RSLs, WLs...)

Hope this helps!
 
The chicks are all alive! So far so good. 3 NN missing. Don't know if they escaped or what happened, the two that I DID get are orange, one is chipmunk

Will get pics in just a bit, I have some hatching and need to make sure all of these have had water go down. My mystery chick is a SL Polish. That worked out well! Except from what I have heard, the mysteries are usually boys. Will see!

Lots of extra roosters were added for warmth, they look like they may be cornish X, because they are really fat, but I am not positive. Anybody want meat chickens?
You know I am always up for the meat chickens. Nice little group you got there. Jessi got her silkies yesterday. She still wants show girls.
 
They seem like they did really well. The only one that seems sluggish now is the mystery chick (sl polish)...they are really liking that heat lamp though, they get under there and fall asleep in a little wave, it is so funny. I think they will all make it, they are eating and drinking a lot so crossing fingers!

So I won't have any NN for sale, unless they ship me more....but I do have several mottled houdans and snowball polish if any body is interested. Cynthia, Brandi wants some Houdans, if we can find a chicken train to your house could you get them to her? Anybody going from Logan to Orem? or SLC even?

Lilwanis, did you want some Houdans yet? They are pretty cute! If anyone is interested PM me

They are sexed female, except the Free roosters to whoever wants them!

Just want to check here first, you guys get first dibs then I will get my ad up on KSL for my extras.

I had to go look up what a Houdan looked like (I probably shouldn't have, cus I want one now!). Oh my gosh! Absolutely weirdly adorable!
 
Whoa! Springtime must be getting close, because this place is buzzing with chicks and eggs. Lisa, I love how sleepy that little snowball is in the pictures.

So, I'm kind of having some mixed feelings at the moment. You guys are going to think I'm being ridiculous, but a few months ago, I ordered a wedding gown to have ready for whenever I finally get married in life. Yeah, I know. I have no wedding, but I'm sick of waiting, dangit! Almost all of my friends and cousins are married or have been married at least once. If I want to waste money on a pretty dress to sit around and watch movies in, then fine. Bah.

Anyway, my dress came in today and I picked it up. It's a little earlier than I expected. I'm happy I finally have it (though I still need to get alterations done) Now all I need is to be getting married, haha. Sorry, just kind of thinking aloud. At least now I won't have to worry about having a dress done on time, right?

Wow, that is a wild thought to act upon. What ever makes you happy at this point..but ya know..I don't like the idea of you watching movies in it, but it could happen if things keep going the way they are in that situation you are in.
No wild thoughts of moving on, and dating others? Had to ask!

If you want them you are welcome to have them, there are 7. Do you want all of them? Working on Showgirls. Cynthia's friend Brandi is hatching some and then the eggs I have coming soon...a few places we should be able to get some :)

Brandi candled tonight and was so excited. She was candling while I was on the phone so she would know what to look for. First she says, I see an air sac. Then all of a sudden she says, I see movement! lol..she was pretty excited. Sounds like she may have a few hatch.
 
Thank you Lisa!

Got the two little Houdans home and snuggled into the brooder. My daughters are looking up pics online and giggling at what they will grow to look like.

 


You are welcome! It was great to meet you guys, I hope they are a great addition :)

Houdans are all sold. I think I have a chicken train coming to Logan on Saturday to pick some up , possibly for Brandi's too Cynthia. I talked to her a few minutes ago and if it does not work i will let her know :)
