Can't wait to see the pics.

I myself am looking forward to getting some chicks at the end of year (if I can talk my husband into it) as my son will be breeding more then.

Great. I have a few Thai game cocks and a pheasant. We got an egg from a female pheasant and let a hen hatch it and let it grow since then.

Oooh! I want some Marans and Penedenscencas. And maybe some Welsummers too Heck, just a little bit of all the dark egg layers. Nothing prettier than a Marans egg, except maybe pure Aracauna eggs.

Just wondering if you are sure that barred chick is actually a barred rock. Male black sex-links are barred like that and have white spots on their head

Nice! Chickens are fun, especially if you get them as young as yours. I have brahmas, golden comets, and barred rocks, a flock nearing 20 birds. At first we penned them, but they weren't very happy, so now they get let out daily. They are like feathered dogs. They follow me everywhere. I often joke that I am going out to "walk the chickens". They even recognize my car and come running when I pull in. I have to beep my horn when leaving because they surround the car as I'm trying to back down the driveway! I don't want to accidentally run one over!
