we got our first set of chickens today, well youngin's........

super excited , I finally found some Australorp pullets. Getting a heck of a good deal, three for 36.00, cheapest ones i've found, the last ones I had found were over 20.00 a head.
They are from a very handsome roo, and their grandpa is a show star. So, I'm thrilled, hopefully getting them this week. yay.
My friend thinks I have a problem, I told her I did too, as I just can't stop. But I know I need too, my coop isn't big enough for a whole bunch. I think I am maxed out now once I get these three and the five brown sex links. Then I'm done, that's it, no more chickens.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


for now.

LOL!!!
I said that too....
Aussies are great, congrats! they were my first flock and the reason I opted for more...
trying to find some EE birds too.
Have fun, and give your friend some chicks...maybe that will help her 'understand'?

They are soooo cute!! I know the excitment I just got my 4 RRI hens last week and I'm hooked again. Congrats on your new additions.

haha. yes, I should give her some birds, chickens are an addiction I think everyone should be hooked on

I am already contemplating the next coop, but, has to be much much less money then the last one.
