I love these people. They are the best chicken enablers EVER!
So, in addition to the five...(or six) Blue Orpingtons that I ordered, I ended up with a few more friends than I had anticipated. I am bad at math, I think we all know that by now, but even I know that 6+12=18, right? So why did I end up with 20 chicks?
I love that the extra chicks are always an interesting breed. This time, other than a couple of unidentified chickies, there is a Red Dorking, 5 Barred Hollands, and a few Red Pyle Cubalayas.
Here's the problem...once again this was only part of my original order. So, let's review. I ordered 20 chicks all together last winter. I received the first group of 10 a couple of months ago, which ended up being 24, this group of "5" turned out to be 20, I still have 5 Welsummer chicks coming at some point.....5 more.....5. Just 5.

Love the chicks, but that is some wild math. Are expecting to end up with forty-something when your whole order arrives?
he he he he he
I could send you a Calico Cochin or two...(or three...)
What a fun problem to have! They are adorable.
Adorable! Looking forward to seeing pix of the flock maturing!
The one looks like a little penguin. well not really but so DARN cute! Please keep posting pics of the growing babies. I have a chicken fetish and cant have chickens. Please enable me.
What beautiful chicks! It's easy to have "too many".
You can always send some home w/ me ;-) lol

Oh, you have Barred Hollands! I ordered 6 from Ideal but only two survived. I have been thinking about ordering more from Sand Hill next year, so I am glad for the recommendation. The photos are all adorable.
Thanks for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment. I was delighted to see you're a Shetland person. I'm not yet, but someday.
Glen might not be able to count, but he sure has a perfect eye for beautiful chicks!!!

We are part of the chicken math deal, too! I LOVE Sandhill. I love seeing just how many birds end up in an order. We usually get quite the mix and match because we aren't picky on variety. We get the specials and it is always a blast to see so many different breeds (and cross breeds) when they are older. Maggie Howe tipped me off to you being one the lucky recipients of the extras Glenn and Linda stick in. I love it :)
