Did you get them from a hatchery or privately?

Privately, she's about an hour away and just starting out. Real nice couple in Jackson Springs. It's a hell of a drive though with my Suburban's thirsty tank. Any suggestions on what to do with them and where to start over? Should I just order from a hatchery that can get me better odds for pullets?

If you order form a hatchery pay the few cents extra and order pullets. If you are looking for good layers, go with a sex link. GUARANTEED hens and awesome layers.

Today was a beautiful day... I spent most of it outside puttering around in my greenhouse.... starting some strawberry plants, tomatoe plants and red, yellow & green pepper plants.
