It really is haha- y’all know how I originally wanted ISA Browns and White Leghorns??? Wellllll even though I already bought the Easter Eggers (EE) I went ahead and put an order in for 5 ISA Browns and 5 White Leghorns, but guess what…. minimum order is 15, so I “had” to add 5 more to the bunch and I went with 5 Rhode Island Reds. I have heard good things about this breed and Mrs. Beth went with that breed so I thought why not. They won’t be hatched until the end of May early June so we have a little while to get use to chicks. HOWEVER…… today my sister brought me 4 Silkies her friend asked if we wanted them- I looked up the breed and omg how could I pass up these little strange looking but cute little goobers ??? Some have “hats”!! So we now have 14 chicks! There is a dilemma though… We’re not sure all of them are pullets (hens) Cool thing though is they’re the same age as my current chicks so they’ll fit right in. I moved the brooder into the run this week; the cabin was starting to umm get a little stinky.
We came up with a few names but its so hard to tell some of the EEs apart though. So far we have for the EEs: Honey (my favorite but she has cross beak), Rick (Jax’s), Buttercup, Goldie Hen (Jason’s), Pearl (JayceeRae’s) Sonic (Braykee’s) and for the Silkies we have: Splenda, Elsa, Jennifer (the lady who gave them to us) and Snowball.
