Soon to be first time mommy of 6 chicks here! Very thankful for this forum, it has been an absolute wealth of information. The babies aren't even here yet and I've run in and tweaked their brooder I don't even know how many times now after reading some new tidbit of information. These will be my first feathered additions to the family and I know I will be back here quite a bit for more info. Now to anxiously await their arrival in 10 days!

I ordered them from Meyers Hatchery. I know it's a long way away, but my local feed store only had "Assorted Bantams" and I wanted some LF birds. I did see another poster say that they were in FL and had received their Meyer chicks without any incident. So fingers crossed for the gals to have a safe trip!
