We learned on Thursday that our chicks will be ready for pick-up next week. Five days from now me and my lovely farm hand will make the journey over to Moncton to pick up our ladies. We unfortunately also learned that one of the breeders sold out of chickens, which means that we are having to find a new breeder for the Buff Orpingtons we wanted; it's getting late in the season for chicks so I will keep you updated on if we find any. We currently have 6 chicks waiting for us; 2 Silkies, 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes and 2 Plymouth Barred Rocks. We are hoping for all hens as these chicks can't be sexed because they are only a few days old. Today, after much discussion, we settled on categories and names for our girls.
Category 1. "The Hippie Chicks" (Silkies) - Daisy and Poppy
Category 2. "The Spice Girls" (if we get some Buff's) - Ginger and Cinnamon
Category 3. "The Hick Chicks" (Silver Laced Wyandottes) - Pearl and Lacey
Category 4. "The Tramps" (Barred Rocks) - Lola and Trixie
These names are not set in stone so I would like for you all to weigh in on your favorites or throw out a name for consideration.
