Hello! Waiting on my first chicks. 🐥

[Boppo]

Welcome to BYC, and hello from Eastern Massachusetts. So glad to meet you! Best wishes with your plans. Enjoy those birds! I am also waiting for chicks to arrive. You have done very good research! I hope you and your kids have so much fun with those chickens!

Oh my goodness, I just noticed that there's a whole page 2 of enthusiastic welcomes. I am so touched by the warm vibe here!

@Iluveggers Welsummers made it to my top 10, but I wasn't as confident in their behavior with other chickens, so this is very helpful. Thanks!

As far as holding off on a second order, I'm trying to keep my numbers down to save room for more chickens as production drops (I hadn't even considered next year's chicken math, oh dear!), but it's HARD, lol! I'm obsessed with breeds spanning two hatcheries (of course! ). Will keep y'all posted when I make my final selection. I'm still figuring out the numbers and coop situation.

@Iluveggers, just seeing your last post. That's very helpful info to hear about relative cuddliness!

Awe man, the waiting is getting HARD. I want some baby chick cuddles soon!!

Welcome to the obsession club! Can’t wait to see what your final order ends up being!
