…a funny thing happened on the way to the bar
Buying Chicks 2021
So we are getting ready for a hatch, but we are also buying chickens. I do not have a problem. Okay?
We are only buying 26.
Ok, maybe a little problem (I love that autocorrect suggested “a little pterodactyl”).
We are getting (all pics from the Meyer website):
Two Lakeshore Eggers – blue eggs
Two Blue – blue eggs
Four Rhode Island Reds – brown eggs
Four Buff Orpingtons – brown eggs
Two Speckled Sussex – brown eggs
Two Welsummers – speckled eggs
Two Salmon Favorelles – pinkish eggs
Two golden laced polish – white eggs
Two white Sultans – white eggs
Two mottled houdans- white eggs
And two Buff Brahmas – brown eggs
So yeah, I totally don’t have a problem. Nope.

Ha! I’m the same. Getting ready to order some cornish cross because last year’s batch were sooo delicious! You are going to have a lovely rainbow of egg colors with these. 🙂

They are beautiful! I “only” have 11 blue sapphires… But if you say some 30 chickens is perfectly normal, I think I need to visit my local hatchery soon. 💁♀️👩🌾🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
