I just wanted to let you know what a great forum you have here at BYC. I was raised on a farm and we always had hens and chicks around. Well, after many years and being influenced by all your stories, I have placed my order with McMurray and expect to receive 32 babies next week. I ordered 8 Light Brahmas, 8 Buff Orpingtons, 8 Black Australorps and 8 Silver-Laced Wyandottes.

Mount Airy, is a beautiful place, I visited there last year. It will be very nice for you, I am thinking there must be lots of chicken folks around. It is a perfect spot with lots of country nearby.
Welcome and enjoy you birds, of course we expect to see photos of the babies.

I also agree with the Brahmas...I miss mine badly...
They're heavy breeds, so they may not lay until they're 6 months old...
Big, is that a Brahma as your avatar? 
Thanks for the vote of confidence for us all...you have to show us the babies when you get them settled.
