I posted about my order in another thread and then I just noticed this thread now. I guess I will post here too so I can add pictures when they are here, since I love seeing everyone else's so much.

Where did you order from?

Meyer Hatchery

What did you order?

• 1 Buckeye
• 1 Easter Egger
• 1 Buff Orpington
• (right now I have the free "meal maker" chick in my order as well, but I'm considering having them take it off because I technically only want 2 more chickens and already am getting 3. 4 might be pushing it... But if I take it off the order, will I be able to resist getting a bin chick when I go pick up my order? )

When will they hatch/how many weeks or months left?

April 24th, so I think about 10 weeks.

Meyer does. But check the fees before you get too excited?

My wee ones have arrived safely. I ordered from Cackle and they sent four chicks instead of three. Love the chubby cheeks!

Uh, I dunno. I just saw they had the three chick minimum and that lavender Ameraucana pullets were available and jumped on it. I ordered three but they sent four.
