Hello! <3

Do you have your brooder and/or coop ready? It's really helpful to have those in place before the little ones show up.
We just built the brooder this weekend, and made sure it's sturdy so we can use it again if needed (for either more chicks or as a hospital for sick birds/birds that need time outs). The plate warmer is coming in the mail soon, and we're still gonna get some bricks for the food/water stuff. (Pine bedding/food won't go out till they get here though.)

Nice set up!
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Congratulations on the coming chicks. Just think, the eggs that will hatch your future flock haven't even been laid yet!
Mind if I ask where you ordered from?

Hi and thanks for the welcome! We ordered from Meyer Hatchery. It's so exciting! I might be making my family insane with the number of youtube videos I'm watching on Backyard Chickens. XD
 
Welcome, welcome! You sound a lot like us, though we won't be getting chickens until we move in just a little over a year from now. Awesome that yours are coming soon! Do keep us posted as to how it's going for you and we will live vicariously through you until we can get going ourselves.

<3 I'm excited, I've been dreaming of chickens for about three years now. I'll keep you up to date with the new happenings, and projects! I hope that your move goes well, fast, and easy with the end result being you enjoying your flock of feathery friends! Keep me in the loop on your progress too!!!!
