So despite the fact that we still have over two weeks to wait until we’re in the clear from the neighbors, and we still need to pay for our permit, we ordered our 6 chickens. We ordered 1 barred rock, 1 buff brahma, and 4 silkies (see links below). I wanted silkies! Which were seemingly unavailable, but that suddenly changed and we could have them the week of July 20th. So we made the decision. Hopefully we don’t regret it. They’ll arrive pretty much right when we find out if the neighbors thwarted our plans. Fingers crossed!

The white silkie. We got 4 different colors. They are so fantastically ridiculous.
