Minimum order 25. At this point the practical me is saying "Turn back now Dorothy!"
Unfortunately or fortunately, the practical me has never had much luck. Not a chance. All I had to do was find a couple of people who wanted to share the order. I could keep ten and they could have the rest. In a short while I found my enablers and was back on McMurray's web site.
Now the dilemma of what to chose. They had an offering that seemed to solve this problem. It was called the Rainbow layer assortment. The mix would be made up of 5 breeds of 5 chicks each. They would be chosen from the brown, white , and tinted egg varieties. Hence the name, Rainbow Layers. Lovely. But wait. What if they don't give me any that lay blue eggs. And I really like the Barred Rocks, oh and the Ancona and the Black Minorca, and I have to have Silver Laced Wyandottes. I ordered 31 pullet chicks. (Hens under 1 year)
Now I am commited to 2 chicks from Ellen and 15 that I ordered. 17 chickens.

They do make such lovely cluck-cluck sounds. Is that where they sleep? On a roosting plank? Where are their nests? I must admit that I really did not like the chickens that hung around outside of the feed store. I always had to clean up after them! But yours all seem so personable even 3,000 miles away! Thanks again for sharing your passion!! LG
