Welcome to BYC! Loved your intro and now *I* can't wait till you get chickens, lol! Keep us posted so we can follow your journey! DH and I have had chickens about 9 years here in SE MO, but we only ordered day-olds for the first time this past spring for the first time. We ordered from Meyer and were happy with their service. Being a very nervous first-timer, I used their on-line chat feature multiple times and really like it. I don't know if it's a real person or really good AI, but either way it was awesome! Happy chickening!
