In June my Silkie hen "Muffin" raised 12 Silkie chciks, hers and she adopted chicks from 2 other hens. Three days ago, Mufin hatched out 4 Ameraucana chicks. I have always wanted a few Golden Laced Wyandotte hens....
PS....their on line site said Ideal had chciks available for 10-6 Got an email that my order will be
filled 10-27 so I will have to use a brooder.......slipping 3 day old chicks to Muffin when her other chicks are a month old.....not the best J

Just in case you are ever in the market again, Far West Hatchery out here in Oregon sells chicks year round, since they've found that more and more people like getting fall chicks who are then ready to lay come early spring.
HI there, just found your blog as I was looking around for chicken blogs. You are right, you can't have too many :) LOL Beautiful chickens and your sheep are gorgeous.

Maybe you'll get lucky and another hen will go broody before 10-27. It's SO much easier to let the hens do the rearing of the chicks. Plus I think it's better for the chicks,they learn what's good to eat, etc.
