We have just placed an order for chicks. It is so exciting having new animals arrive.  We have been back and forth about chicks for a while, do we get more, don't we get more, we just didn't know. We have looked into getting them from Performance Poultry in Prince Edward County, Ontario, but missed their deadline. We also looked into importing from McMurray Hatchery in the States but didn't really want to go through the border and really wanted to stay a bit close to home. So we waited. Well it has paid off because in three weeks we should have 25 Black Maran chicks arriving!  How exciting! These guys lay dark brown eggs and the cockerels are gorgeous. we are still waiting to hear about some other breeds too. This may well be the beginning of our poultry breeding career!
