This will be my first time owning chickens.. we were going to try last year and life was too crazy to attempt it.
I have an order in with Sandhill, but since they are first come, first serve, I may not get the order so I went ahead and put in a different order with Welp that should arrive mid-April. I'm super excited!
Sandhill's order should I get it would be 25 chickens:
6 Lavendar Orpingtons
6 Ameraucana
6 Blue Wheaten Marans
3 Red Pyle Cubayala
4 Exchequer Leghorns
all straight run
Welp's order will be 32 chickens:
5 Speckled Sussex
5 Buttercup
5 Partridge Rock
5 Barred Rock
5 Silver Leghorn
7 Buckeyes
all pullets except for 2 Buckeyes
.. honestly there are so many breeds it's super addicting to look at them and be like, "Oh I want that one! Oh look at that one there!" LOL. I really, really wanted to get a couple bantams, but got looks of horror when I broached the subject. No one in my family wants little eggs apparently :/
