With the Dawn of spring on my heels, the obsession begins again...

Well, a fox killed all of my bantams last year, so After re-doing my coop, I'm getting some more chicks

Here's the list so far...

Lavender D'uccles
White Crested Black Polish Bantams
Pyncheon Bantams
Black Frizzle Cochin Bantams
Blue Silkie Bantams
Delaware Bantams

Please feel free to post pics of your chicks or tell me about your lists

I see you like the bantams.

Me? I'm into the LF, big time. (pardon the pun

)

I can only have a few girls, so I went for variety. I have an SS, BR, and EE. The SS and BR are the sweetest most docile girls. My EE is the leader of the pack and a sqawker! All are very people friendly and pretty breeds.

omg, I love bantams

lol, the pun is pardoned...

My mom loves LF, here is her list~

Partridge Chantecler
Red Sexlink
Bo or possibly BR
Russian Spangled Orloff
Madagascar Games (Why, I have no idea

)

Kate, Your birds must be lovely! EEs are just a great bunch of fun and SS are so sweet and poofy

You have a great flock

Wow, someone with a "seasonal" obsession about chicks. I think I used to be that way until I discovered I could hatch eggs in the winter.

And while I prefer LF chickens, there's something just so adorable about adding a few bantam breeds into the mix.

 

[LeBlackbird]

haha...summer...fall....winter...OMG! SPRING! TIME TO GET MORE CHICCKKEENNSSS!!!

 

[The Chicken People]

As I search for the new breeds I want to add! DH is my enabler...just last night he started planning another coop...bigger than any I have!

 

[LeBlackbird]

YAY! Get those chickenz! lol, personally, I recomend the following...

True Ameraucanas, just plain sweethearts! Awesome personalities...
LF Cochins, they're so doclie and sweet!
Russian Orloffs, pretty eyecandy and very lovely, kind personalities...
Bantam Rocks are sooo quiet! my rooster didn't make a peep and hardy crowed...
Silkies....because they're awesome...

Since I have to sell the whole flock of chickens or *gulp* butcher them....... ( cause they all have turned into egg eaters

)

My list so far to reastart on chickens is:

Wyandotte bantams
Polish bantams
SQ Silkies ( especially the Isabelle Porcelain silkies

)

Well, my dad says no more...but my grandma is an enabler!
I currently have 12 BR (10 bought form Ideal 2 years ago, 2 incubated and hatched!), 6 EEs (sweethearts!) , 1 Bantam Buff Brahma hen, 1 bearded d'anver roo, and 1 silkie! (Thus, I became addicted to bantams!)
So...two days ago my grandma went over my parent's heads... and bought
6 Rhode Island Reds and 5 'assorted' bantams! Of course now my dad doesn't mind because he was sucked into the cuteness!

And soon, I shall be incubating more quail.
