Thanks for the welcome! Yes, my peeps will be quite special! I'm only worried about the number of them and the 2 week age difference. I want to do right by them.
I've wanted a few hens for 10 years, but allergies to feathers kept me away from chickens. I "outgrew" my allergies, my neighbor got chicks and I started longing for my own hens. My neighbor told me about this site and you know you've got the bug bad when you're reading about chickens at 1:30...
