Found a lady in the next town over who has chickens - she is gonna sell me some in 4 - 6 weeks!

I'll be getting some 10 week old Buff Orpingtons, Bazrred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and, if she can find some, Ameracunas or Silkies!!

Now, we just have to get the coop built! (No worries - Sweet Geek is all fired up over it. We're planning on getting the supplies tonight and starting on the building next weekend. :bounce:)

Fresh eggs should start appearing when the girls are 20 weeks old (or so - some start at 15 weeks...we'll see)

Buff Orpingtons, hee! I can't ever see a reference to them without thinking of poor Miss Twitterton and her Buff Orpingtons in Dorothy L. Sayers's Busman's Honeymoon.

Just so long as you don't start making parsnip wine, too...
