I've got 13 chicks coming April 25th. Eeekk!! Half will be mine and the other half I'm raising for my brother. I've got quite an assortment of flavors too. I couldn't decide when to get all egg layers or add a few dual-purpose birds.
2 Easter Eggers
Silver Cuckoo Marans
2 Buff Orpington
Golden Laced Wyandotte
Double-Laced Barnevelder
Barred Rock
Welsummer
Black Australorp
Delaware
New Hampshire Red
1 Mystery chick
Planned on building a coop, but didn't have the time this year so I bought a pre-made one. Just need to paint it and seal up some spots.
I'll be keeping 6 and my brother will get the rest. Hopefully I have some friendly ones in the bunch to give to my brother. He just had a baby and my sister-in-law is not exactly an animal person and that's saying it lightly. She won't even go to the zoo because she's afraid of the animals. But my brother is excited and I'll be helping them with the birds until they are comfortable with them.
