Why???

[Nicole01]

Why can I not be satisfied with what I have??? I NEED to have the Mille Fleur chick added to my flock. I want one sooooo badly and there is a new shipment coming tomorrow. Hubby asked me why I can't be satisfied with what we have. I only have 5, it's not like we have 100. We were origainally going to have two chicks and ended up with 5. What's one more 1/2 sized bird? We defiantly have enough room in the coop and run.

Anyways, I'm going to the farm store to pick up my chick tomorrow.

I hardly can wait. It's been a very long week since I've known they were coming. I need a chick mate for Annabelle, she is too small for the coop. The big girls will hopefully move into the coop this weekend if it's finished. They are 5 week olds and fully feathered. Hubby did agree to adding the Mille Fleur earlier this week, but he did change his mind.lol

Where do you get them from? Cedar is a hop skip and jump away from me

I would definately get more then 1 just in case.

ETA: We started out with a small amount about 6 years ago and now have 45 birds

You should get 2. They are soooo so tiny. My friend's Mille Fleur D'Uccle were about half the size of a credit card when they were 1 day old and now at 1 week they are about the size of the standard chicks at 1 day lol.

I got all my chicks from Anoka Ramsey Farm and garden. They have a big selection of breeds and a new shipment every week. Unfortunately, the Mille Fleur was from the straight run. I pray I picked a pullet. The day old chick I picked out today has pretty good wing and foot feathers.

At this point, I am entirely happy with my five Delawares. However, I don't get out much and we will be out this weekend and I have no doubt that we'll stop ans see some chicks while we are out. I know we will all be oohing and ahhing and pointing out the ones we want. I wonder if we will be strong enough to resist!

OK thats what I thought, I pray u picked a pullet too! I was in there not tooo long ago lookin at the chicks and wanted the mottled cochins they had... there was a total of 4, one in which already had a rooster comb. I came home with the other 3 in hopes that at least 2 were pullets, Nope 2 boys and 1 girl

Chicken Math claims another one.

Sooner or later They are going to notice and feel compelled to take steps.

I wanted a millie fleur too, but since they are always sold straight run or un-sexed, I got 2. Same with my silkies, but they could all turn out to be roos in a few months. Good luck!

Only 5 chickens? I see no reason not to get a few more!

But you should definitely get more then one chick. When they are old enough to move into the coop it will be easier to integrate a few new birds instead of a single new bird. A lone new bird tends to get picked on more whereas a few takes the pressure off.
