Now those are the good veggie chips! I could eat an entire container in one sitting.

The grocery store.

What about any of the other stuff that they try to offer? Like that grogel or vital packs? Can I just bring a dish with some hydro-hen water or nutridrench stuff? Or are those nice to have right at the onset?

I would not buy them.

I ordered my new babies! EEEEEEEEE! I'm excited and terrified all at the same time. This is the first time that I've ordered online/thru the mail. I guess I need to pay a trip to my local post office and talk to them about what to do. I've got time tho. They should be here in between March 12-14. And then they'll be in the house for 6 weeks or so, so it should be plenty warm for them outside at night. If I need to adjust the timing then I can. No big deal. I am amazed at how fast some chickens sell out. I never would have thought that. I guess it just depends on the breed and it's popularity I guess.

Congratulations!
Are you seriously going to keep them inside for 6 weeks?
My quailies are just one week old and I can't get them outside quick enough. They are going out tomorrow.

First weekend off in ages and I spent it doing chores and working on the coop.

Yeah, I could have picked a later date but I decided to go with the first available. I got all of the breeds that I wanted except for an Olive Egger, but that is ok. They had 1 left but I wouldn't have been able to get my birds until JUNE! I didn't want to wait that long. I really feel like I am going to have a really good variety/mix of chickens.
Currently I have:
Males:
White Silkie
Porcelain Booted Bantam
Girls:
Black Australorp (4)
Black Jersey Giants (2)
Buff Orpington (1)
New Hampshire (1)

I ordered all Girls:
Colored Egg layers-

Easter Egger (2)
Lakeshore Egger (1)
Blue Ameraucana (1)

Dark Brown Layers-
Welsummer (1)
Golden Cuckoo Maran (1)

White Layers-
Austra White (1)
Blue Andalusian (1)

So basically a carton of eggs from me will be a mix of Medium and Large eggs from white to cream to nude to light brown to dark brown to colors of pastel green/teal/blue to bright blue.
I think that will make a really pretty carton. I can't wait!

Great choices. What in the world is a Lakeshore? Are they new this year?

Omg Kiki, I still don’t understand why you didn’t keep them....my poor heart strings.....

I really wanted to but I really couldn't.

You do not need air holes for shipping eggs.

I think she means holes in the styrofoam to put the eggs in.
