Thanks! I love them already.
. I won’t be keeping all of them…so my son will be helping me choose ours (probably 10-12, but knowing myself maaaybe 13)…before we have our neighbor pick theirs, and sell the rest. We have a large shed/coop that we are replacing a few that have passed over the years, and a smaller coop for a couple of the more docile breeds. 
Just recently expanded the fenced area to a new section and hub was outside yesterday and says we can do it again this summer lol. So they’ll have plenty of room during integration!
I do too!
Oh those are great breeds too, I'm excited for you!!! That's pretty much what I did tooI have an large order at McMurray for a mix of chicks, including some Polish, Cochin, Sussex, Orpington, Dorking, & Americana, Buttercup, Brahma, Silver Laced Wyandotte & Naked Neck, along with some good layers with Australorp, Plymouth Rocks, Whiting Blue & Green, a Leghorn, and Black & Red Sex Links! It was I’ll try one of these, and two of these, and one of these, and a couple of those
So glad to have someone to be excited with, haha!I do too!
I have gotten orders from Mt Healthy and they did a great job of marking the chicks for me. So hopefully it will be easy for you to tell them apart. I REALLY wanted a Cochin and a couple Polish this year, and McMurray is one of the few that sexes them, so we went with them. I do think Mt Healthy has a cool selection of colors, much more than other places with lavenders, splashes & blues, and lots of color Marans and Orpingtons!Oh those are great breeds too, I'm excited for you!!! That's pretty much what I did too
Mt healthy had less variety, but good enough for me. I can't wait to see photos of yours when they come! Picking is sooo hard. I'm going to change my mind about a dozen times I'm sure. As long as my neighbor gets her 21 and the price stays about the same I don't think she'll mind if I switch some around. The guy said they're pretty much all banded so I'm guessing I'll have a slip saying what everything is. Hopefully. I'll take pics and see what everyone here thinks anyway.
Awesome! I'm trying to figure out my new coop too. I really don't want to spend 3k, but I can't find anything decent for less. I've got lots of temporary pens at least though until I find something.
