Anyone impatiently waiting for your baby chicks to arrive?!?!

[SimplyLogan]

We'll be picking the chicks up in about 2 hours! The sort facility north of us called and they have our chicks. One of the workers kindly offered to bring them down with her when she gets off work today and we'll be meeting her at a post office halfway between us and the sort facility.

Wow, that never happens. How nice of her.

I ordered in Nov too and have been wishing for weeks that I had gone local. I did not see any local ads when I was building the coop in the fall.

We have to part with more than we keep due to county restrictions, but wanted to make sure we got what the kids wanted. We have like 5 Marans pullets of each color coming.

I have all the supplies, just need plop the brooder down and check the temps this weekend before they show up.

Lemon cuckoo orpington? I don't think I've seen that color before. Gonna have to Google that

Same here. They had all the ones I wanted back then in stock. I thought I was crazy for ordering so early...then saw in Jan/ Feb they were out of a ton of breeds. Guess we werent so crazy!

Ive got the brooder almost ready, so Ive been working on their coop. Ive read a ton since Nov. too. I feel very ready.

Are these your first chickens?
