| So my spring fever set it yesterday. Went to buy dog/cat food at TSC yesterday. Came home with 6 little batam chicks. Ha ha, I planned on ordering some, americuanas and reds also. But they were just too cute to pass up since I planned on buying some anyways. =) anyone else have chickens, and not for their kids easter presents? LOL I'd love to see pictures of your batams if you have any. I have one silkie in the bunch that I can tell ( black beak tip right? ) but the rest, I'm unsure of what breed they'll be.

Location: up to my waist in you know what | I just like you got suckered into a few baby bantams too. Lol. We were wanting a few more chicks to go with our 6 laying hens and of course they were to cute to pass up at TSC. We got 2 yellows and 4 blacks, they are about 9 weeks old now. I love their little "chaps", sooo cute!!! These are our first bantams, we already have 2 adult reds, 3 whites and a black giant. I would post pics but I can never do it from my phone.
ETA I think I finally outsmarted my phone! Yay me! Sorry it's not the best pic.

Location: Pacific Northwest | I work at a TSC-owned company so I'm kind of over the chicks  We've had them since end of February, and our last shipment is April 22nd I believe.
They ARE cute though! I have plenty of grown chickens though, so I just remind myself that the cute little fluffy chicks grow up to be not-so-cute chickens haha. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | We just got two little Turkey. Does that count? We're also incubating eggs from our hens. But we're at about day 23... So I'm a little nervous they aren't going to hatch. |

I want a Frizzle!!! But I can't find any around me. So far I have Swedish Flower, Salmon Favarolle and Ameracauna's. Unfortunately I had an issue with some racoons and I lost all my Rhode Island Reds and Sussex chickens.
We are in the process of building a new coop that will be the equivalent of Fort Knox....I want to name it Fowlcatraz. |
