Chickens
These are not the actual chickens (or even their parents!) that
I ordered, but photos borrowed from www.feathersite.com
to illustrate what the baby chicks I ordered are anticipated to grow up
to look like.
I have indicated here where I was able to order Pullets only, and where
I was limited to Straight Run (meaning as hatched - 50% chance for males
or females). So, any cockerels/roosters that I get will have to be
sold, as I am not allowed to have roosters in town, only hens.

Ameraucana pullet
(they lay the blue, green and pink colored eggs)
Araucana and Ameraucana chickens come in all variety of colors, so
mine very well may not be this color. But they SHOULD have the cute
puffy cheeks like this one in the picture.

2 White Japanese Bantams (straight run)
I call these the Zelda Chickens, because they look just like the chickens
in the Nintendo 64 game Legend of Zelda.

I ordered my chicks from Privett
Hatchery in New Mexico.
If you are interested in ordering baby chicks too, another good choice
would be McMurray Hatchery,
which also has an excellent and informative catalog.
