I take it you love chickens and chicks I sure do and used to have them. Had banty chickens mixed with oriental chickens, regular chickens and anything else. They were so colorful and interesting. When a batch would hatch, you could tell who the father was as there were feathers sticking straight up on the top of some of the babies heads. I really liked them and would watch their antics. But, now I do not have them as I wouldn't be able to do the chores to take care of them even though the kind I had were pretty self sufficient Times do change And I couldn't be dealing with all the varmints who wanted to raise havoc with them either like I used to. Enjoy!

Ours are all bantams. We have about 35 already, and got about 4 dozen chicks. They are assorted breeds: silkies, sultans, cochins, frizzled cochins, araucanas, etc.

cool! congratulations on your new arrivals !! but............ I'm sooooo jealous, B2Y !! we can't get those breeds here... the only ones commercially available are Cornish Cross and Hyline Brown. you know, one kind for meat, and one for eggs... both plain-looking. in my village, there's a few bantys, but mostly one can't tell the breed of the "local chickens" one nearby family has some... what LOOK like, maybe... Japanese Bantams ? - we think, (they didn't speak English, only German, so communication was difficult), but they let me take pictures... maybe you know what these are? the chickens have really cool TAILS, that are nearly as big as their bodies, and stand BOLT upright, lol! they also had three of these, no idea what they are: a chicken plant is trying to get gov't import approval for some different breeds... and we want some Buff Cochins..., as soon as we can get them!

When we were living in Iowa we were next to a game farm and they mailed baby quail. I used to love going to the post office and hearing peep peep peep.. Too cute!

NO NO NO! They are merely pets that happen to lay eggs. We eat chicken, but we NEVER eat anybody we know.
