Baby chicks countdown thread!

[Poodlemum]

Thanks. Not sure I want one bad enough to pay the $30. LOL There is another feed store by me that I think had them last year, but I heard people were getting in line at like 6am for an 8am opening just to get certain breeds of chicks!! They don't do pre-orders. If I don't get one I am ok with it but would LOVE a really pretty blue egg! haahaa and they are so cute! The place I go chicks were $4-5 each depending on the breed. So I can get my 6 chicks just for what shipping would be never mind cost of the chicks.

I'm not even supposed to be looking at the feed stores, but now I’m getting major FOMO No one would notice a few extra chicks in with a batch of 25 right??? The feed stores are getting their first orders in next week! And my babies should ship then too

I JUST GOT SHIPPING NOTIFICATION FOR MY SILKIE HATCHING EGGS!!! Hopefully they don’t actually go out til Monday… Just seems a bit risky to ship them on a weekend Going to start warming the incubator, wooooooo!

Yes this belongs here! You are so close! I would love to see pics, mixed breeds are fun because you have no idea what they will look like!

We’ll just go with the first order

1. February 7
2. 7 DAYS OMG

THE WAIT IS KILLING ME. Should not have come here and looked at all the cute baby pics

I think the last week of waiting feels the longest because you are so close! I am dying to see your WTB also so I get an idea of what mine will look like!

Ooh I’m excited to see what you get for a mystery chick! And I am in LOVE with Niederrheiners. When they offer pullets I am definitely getting some!

I hear they are great. It's St. Run so hopefully I'll get at least two females.

The Cackle mini surprise looks like it will be a lot of fun!

I was tempted to get the big box, but I already had Meyers coming.

I had seen these "barnyard specials" but most of the time they are over 100 dollars. With a mini. I can get my feet wet, and The word "surprise " just sounds fun.
