These are the chicks I’m ordering for delivery in June since that’s the earliest delivery I can get at this point. (Thanks to Guildbrook<\/a><\/g> Farms<\/a> for some great advice – I highly recommend their fantastic YouTube channel). I’m focusing on Dorking and Easter Eggers this year and getting a variety of other breeds to see what I like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silver Gray Dorking<\/a> (cream\/tinted egg): 4 females and 1 male. My rooster will be this breed so I can contribute toward the continuation of this endangered, heritage breed dating back to the Roman empire. It’s a sweet, gentle breed so this should be a good rooster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barred Rock<\/a> (brown eggs): 3 females. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easter Egger<\/a> (colored eggs): 3 females. I’m getting these primarily for egg marketability. People love colored eggs (and so do I).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue\/Black\/Splash Cochin<\/a> (light brown eggs): 1 female. I’m getting one of these to be the mama of my flock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
