Yes, this is the big week, I'm in Checotah, OK and getting mine though my feed store from Ideal. I have 50 RIR straight run coming. My husband says he is going to butcher the roosters, we shall see how that goes, but he is an Iowa farm boy so he probably can do.
My feed store said they will ship on March 11, arrive at the feed store March 12. I'm ready, didn't prepare this much for my kids oh so many years ago. HA.
I went to Sears and they gave me a lovely big freezer shipping box. It has high sides (I turned down a flap for easy access).
My DH has built me a chicken house for them when they are a little older. I shall put up pictures when I can figure out how to do it. I'm a little ole granny, and am still a little computer chalenged.
Anyway, yes, it's sure exciting to get these new babies, sure isn't going to take as long as it did the last time I was expecting.
