What is your 2022 chick order list?

No hatcheries here but I'm going to try reeeelly hard to source some good Sultans. I tried last year, spent $200 plus postage on a dozen eggs, two chicks hatched but only one has survived. Talk about one expensive chick

Were 10 infertile or did they just die?

If I can, I will get a few guinea fowl and an SF.

Shipping is really, really rough on hatching eggs. Most won't develop or hatch because of shaking or temperature fluctuation

Buuuuuut, y’all know chick math Already looking forward to hitting up the feed stores just for looksies and having a hard time waiting to start up the incubator for the first time…. I’d also like to get some Whiting True Blues and more BCM if I get serious about selling eggs

That’s the only thing stopping me, my order in November was already booked out to June :/ We had late fall chicks this year and I don’t want to worry about integrating during winter again

I decided to bypass the chick rush. Picked up my first chickens from a farm here in FL. Ended up getting three eight-week old Speckled Sussex pullets and 2 eight-week old Easter Egger pullets. I can't have roosters where I live or I'd have snagged a Sussex roo.

I'm looking to get 4-6 more standard layer pullets. The challenge I'm facing is I want all different breeds/colors. I currently have 8 ladies (RIRs, ISA Browns, Silver Wyandottes, Gold Wyandotte, & Black Australorpe), so I'm looking for different colors of standard-sized breeds. I'd prefer to buy local, but I haven't been able to find any farms around (I'm in Maryland) that #1- sell sexed chicks and #2- have the variety I'm looking for and #3 don't have a minmum. My TSC usually only has a few breeds at a time, so the minimum makes it so I have to get duplicates. I'll probably have to order from a hatchery this spring.

1. Where are you ordering from?
I have no idea because I'm not ordering. (different plan that involves a friend)
2. What breeds are you getting?
I'm happy with any kind of fluffy cheeked easter egger!
3. Why did you select those breeds?
I've always loved the puffy cheeked birds!
