Chickens

We got some new chickens. We now have Silver Laced Wyandotte chicks, Cuckoo Maran chicks, Buff Minorca chicks, Barred Rock chicks, Blue Andalusian chicks, Black Andalusian chicks, Splash Andalusian chicks, and Buff Sex Link pullets. We also got a Rhode Island Red hen and 2 Barred Rock hens. We are also thinking about getting 3 Buff Orpington hens and a couple of Americanas hens. Americanas chickens are also known as the Easter Egg chicken. Their eggs are light shades of blue and green.
My favorites are the Andalusians. They are so pretty!
I am really looking forward to when they all start laying. Especially the Cuckoo Marans. Marans lay some of the darkest eggs available. They are very dark chocolate color.
