So happy to have found this site. Enjoying raising our 12 new Chicks (Beefy the Buff Orpington who could easily be a house pet, 6 RI/NH Reds, 3 Black Astralorps, and 2 Lt brahmas). Girls are finally settling into their new Coop and we are having a blast following their antics!
from Ohio. So glad you joined. Congrats and have fun. 
You have some of the same chicks I'm getting. I've got 3 Black Australorps, 3 Buff Orpingtons, and 3 Golden Lace Wyandottes on the way this week and next. I wanted the Lt Brahmas, but couldn't find chicks that'll be about the same age in this area (and to ship them would be somewhere around JULY!!!) I'm just starting out so we'll see how we do... Looking forward to the new adventure!
