    I had been put on the "please notify me" list for brabanters and barnevelders at Ideal, and today I got the email -- so of course I called in and ordered INSTANTLY. [​IMG]

    I ordered:

    3 Barnevelder pullets
    2 Welsummer pullets
    3 Exchequer Leghorn pullets
    4 cream Brabanter cockerels
    13 cream Brabanter pullets

    I know I'll be sorry once I actually have to figure out where to PUT all these buggers -- but for now, I'm just bouncing up and down in anticipation. They'll be here the end of March! [​IMG]

    congrats isn't it so exciting? I placed a order with Ideal for 8 buff silkie chicks. I didnt get this weeks shipment and the next was the week of christmas so I told them to hold off till the next order date which will be the 29th and I should recive them by Dec the 31st!

    I am very excited about getting my babies I was hoping soon then planned but I'll just have to wait a little longer.

    I'm stoked. [​IMG]

    I didn't know i they would let me put the Welsummers or other breeds on the list, but I'm glad they did. I've already got four Welsummers, but I'm really enjoying them so I'd like a couple more.

    Hiya --

    These are going to be hatchery birds, therefore probably not the highest quality. I want at least a few roos to choose between. I'll also be sorting through the pullets. Since brabanters are so rare, I am betting that my rejects will not be terribly difficult to sell once I've chosen which to keep for myself. [​IMG]
