My bantam chicks most likely came drop shipped from Ideal according to usps tracking and the varieties i got (Golden neck D'uccles? And "bantam" sultans). Pooey. If I wanted chicks from ideal i would have gotten them there myself. Right now it looks like only a few bantams will be female, which might be for the best. I guess the houdan rooster can have them. I wonder where the campines, houdan, and polish came from? Usps origin was st paul, Minnesota...
I guess it was a rough year to get chickens.

I'm glad the campines have been nice enough. As long as we dont bring in anything that persists i can always start over as needed next year.

I wish i knew if McMurray was still breeding their own line of Australorp or white leghorn. I think those are the main varieties they say they've developed themselves and like, but it doesnt seem like the hatchery is what it used to be. I know they got hit with birdflu last year and times are tight. Double pooey.

My neighbor converted an old gooseneck horse trailer into a chicken coop. It turned out really well. For Mother’s Day they got a dozen 2 month old barnyard mix pullets. She’s thrilled and enjoying her chickens!

That sounds awesome! I haven't seen it as much here, but in tn you could pick up a very old beater trailer for free and that would be so much space...and mobile if you wanted to keep up the wheels do the grazing chicken thing with electric nets. Your neighbor sounds cool!
