I got mine from Ideal, kiowa country corner, elizabeth country corner and O'malleys mercantile. Unless I'm wanting something that one of the other places won't have, I'll just stick to the feed stores from now on. That way I don't have to deal with the anxiety of shipping the chicks.

I just reserved my pullets at Kiowa Country Corner. They still have quite a few available that will be hatching throughout May.

So I might see you when I go get mine. What types did you choose?

Oh, maybe! Mine are arriving the week of May 11. I reserved five pullets of four breeds - Rhode Island Red, Buff Orpington, Silver Laced Wyandotte, and two Ameraucanas.

You were still able to get the Ameraucanas? That is great! I am waiting for the 11th for that reason. I am also getting a Silver Laced Wyandotte, but I am getting a California White as my third.

I saw on their website that May 11th Ameraucanas were sold out, so I was planning to wait until the 18th to get them. When I called, they said that they still had some available after all.

I'm sure time will fly. They'll be here so soon!

Can anyone offer a recommendation for an automatic chicken door? We are headed out for a trip in may and I can't have the girls stuck inside the entire time as the flock has grown.

Any recommendations?

Finished the perimeter fence today!

We ran out of cedar slats so we couldn't finish the small pens. Here is a rooftop view:

Almost hit a wild turkey on the way in to work this morning - wandering in the middle of the road near 48th and Harlan. I've never seen them venture into the city before!

Wow, that's just a few blocks from my house! I wish I could lure the gobbler into my yard instead of Mr. Fox!
