I ordered their ornamental layer collection, I should get 25 chicks in a variety of chicks, from different polish breed, cochin, and whatever else they toss me. They also said there were 3 extra coming, so that should be fun too! I have been spending my time setting up for them, it feels just like bringing that new baby home! hahaha Can't wait to hear you got your babes! I will be watching for all these new chick pictures!!!

Here is My Order. 12 Araucanas,4 Black Australorps,2 Light Brahams,2 RIRs , 2 Buff Orpingtons and last 3 Turkens, My Grand daugther was fine until I told the Lady that I wanted the 3 Turkens .She started crying

due march 17.
 
I thought I was excited when I got my first batch of 25 chicks from McMurray on Feb 7th and had to go pick them up in freezing sleet and ice. Now, on Tuesday, I have 6 ducklings coming from Ideal, and they will come with a bunch of "packing peanuts" (little unwanted boy-chicks)...the forecast is for 17 degrees and freezing drizzle that a.m. I think I need to stop ordering chicks/ducks so that Spring can actually settle in.

By the way, I am as excited about getting the unknown number/breed of boy-chicks as I am at getting the ducklings.
 
I didn't know McMurray did the "peanut packing thing.

I'm sorry, I did not make myself clear. My first batch of chicks was from McMurray. The Ducklings that are coming with the "packing peanuts" on Tuesday are from Ideal, not McMurray. I did get an extra free rare from McMurray and I think she is an EE but not sure. Certainly not a Roo in that bunch. The "packing peanuts" from Ideal will all be Roo's but that is o.k. I will just have to figure a way to accommodate them. I live at least a mile from the closest neighbor so any excessive cock-a-doodle-doo will only bother me. I may be able to sell/give away some of them. I have been told to feed them and then eat them but I can not see me doing the butchering thing. I may try to find someone that could do it for me in exchange for some of them but maybe not.
 
Thanks! and that is so sweet of You to keep the little guys. I have a few close neighbors ..but I don't think 2 dozen roosters crowing could "faze" Them . If You know what I mean .They live next -door but stay way... out in left field.LOL
 
My chicks shipped out yesterday!! I ordered 5 each of these breeds: barred rock, black australorp, Rhode Island red, white leghorns, and black sex link. 3 of each of theses breeds: buff orpington and silver laced Wyandotte. They are coming from Hoovers hatchery and should be here in the morning! I got my ducks today from tractor supply. I think I got 1 Rouen, 1 ancona, and 1 chocolate ancona!
 
I couldn't wait!
We went to Oxford feed and lumber in Pa, on Monday. I kept changing my mind, so we picked up 5 Golden Comet, 1 Barred Rock and 1 Rhode Island. The reason I kept changing my mind is I have 6 Buff Orbington, I'm so worried about the adding to the flock part. I've heard so many horror stories, makes me afraid to do it. But now, I'm commited. O boy! So that was my St. Patty's Day. Here are some pics of our new baby girls belowBarred Rock
