Picky Picky Picky

FINALLY, after two months of researching all things chicken, we placed an order for our first batch of hatching eggs .  They are show quality Bantam Cochins bred by Roslyn Pickens of Lucky Pickens Farm .  We chose to purchase our eggs from Roslyn because she and her husband have been lovingly breeding and raising chickens to the APA Standards for over 50 years.  Their farm is NPIP Certified .  Additionally, her birds are gorgeous in body type and color.

We chose an assorted dozen of (2) Silverlaced, (2) White, (4) Calico, and (4) Calico Frizzle.  The first two colors being breed standard, and the last two colors not yet recognized in the standard, but truly our favorites!   We hope to be a part of the advancement that the Calico color is making in regards to possible future recognition.

We know that Bantam Cochins (especially Calicos) with their sweet, docile, "house pet" personality will have a wider range of appeal to future "City Chics and Their Kids" who would themselves, like us, want to have them as a pet of choice in their urban backyards and small gardens.

We found everything we need to know about chickens, as well as an amazing community of chicken whisperers at www.BackyardChickens.com .

WAIT!  Before you go, be sure to subscribe to our blog.  The eggs will be here Saturday and we don't want you to miss it.  This is just the beginning of the City Chic-N-Kids' adventure.

PEACE!
