Well, the Golden Laced Wyandotte is no more. The hatchery called me today just before I left work to let me know they did not have enough girls of that breed so they wanted to offer substitutions.
We will now be getting a welsummer instead. I think that will be fine. They are supposed to also be very friendly and can tolerate the cold weather up here. I guess the Welsummer rooster is the type that was on the cornflakes boxes... the hens don't look quite the same but they're cute too! :) What's kind of neat is that they lay dark brown eggs with little black specs - something cool and different!
The woman that called confirmed for me that they will be shipping out tomorrow via express mail. I should still be on target for either later in the day tomorrow or Wednesday morning. It was nice that I got a chance to choose the new breed and talk with someone from the hatchery - she was really helpful in guiding my decision to pick something that would go well with the 2 others we were already getting.
