The OP said she ordered chicks, pullets, but I'm sure when she gets them and has bonded she will be ready for more. I started out with 6 and now average around 300 birds. I guess that's chicken math...Welcome to BYC! Congrats on your new property/future farm. Sounds like you got a extremely long time until your hens arrive. There's a good chance you'll get impatient and get some spring chicks when you see them at your local feed store....be weary of the chicken math!
