Today we bought six chickens. The kids are really excited about getting eggs and taking care of the chickens. We drove to Waxahachie, to the Boyd Feed Store and purchased a mix of different breeds. We got 2 Americanas, 2 Brown Leghorns (in Texas it pronounced Legerns), and 2 Rhode Island Reds.

The Americanas are also called “Easter Egg Chickens” because they put out different color eggs. So that should be fun to see. They look very fancy with a lot different plumage than the other chickens.
