Alphabe-Thursday

C is for Chicken

C is for chicken, but not the Chicken Spaghetti  recipe from Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook, although it was yummy! It makes a lot and there is just Jeff and I so we ate it for dinner three nights.   No, C is for the chicks that I am getting ready to place my first order for to fill up the chicken coop hubs built last fall.  Here are the beauties I have on my list:

I put this scrapbook page together last night with pictures from the catalog I am ordering from and a picture of our coop that hubby built this past fall.  I expect I will start a scrapbook when the little ladies come so I might as well get started for Alphabe-Thursday.  I am planning on all girls because I really just want friendly egg layers.  It was really hard to make a choice because I wanted them all.  So I had to make my decision by the descriptions not the pictures.  I made my choices by picking breeds that could be free range or confinement, cold tolerant, docile and and not very broody.  I am hoping to free range some but we have fox and I think we will have to add a fenced section out the back end of the coop.  The company I am ordering from will try and send the gender you order but I might get a rooster in the bunch.  All that I can say about that is he better not be mean or he will end up in the Pioneer Woman's Chicken Spaghetti.  I am linking up with Jenny Matlocks Alphabe-Thursday here:
