Thanks, Lexi, when the time comes, I may well take you up on that! I have quite a while to wait though, and here I am lining up my chick pickup already LOL.
I would get them tomorrow if I could, but I have a lot of projects I have to get done over the next 6 months first that are going to take a ton of my time. I just started painting the entire exterior of my house, I hope to be finished by Fall. Last summer I gutted, scrubbed, and painted the entire interior of my barn after some serious damage from a colony of flying squirrels who moved in the previous winter. I spent last winter doing a lot of interior painting. I'm too cheap to hire someone to do it all, and I'm also really picky about painting, so I'd rather do it myself.
On top of that, we're 3/4 of the way through having a new roof put on our house, so not much $ left after that to hire someone anyhow. My house is a construction zone mess this summer. After this summer I should be able to relax for awhile though, no more big projects or maintenance for a long time, hopefully.
Of course, you know the reason we are having the rainiest spring on record is because our roofer started our job the first week of May
Thankfully he's completing each section in full before tearing off the next so we've been weather-tight so far.
So I keep telling hubs that my reward for all of this hard work the past 2 summers is I finally want chickens next spring. He's not arguing
After the house painting is all done, I hope to spend this fall getting the coop setup ready, but that will be fun stuff in comparison.
