Just placed my first order!

Picking up my first order from Meyers Jan. 6. 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Rhode Island Reds and 2 Buff Orpingtons. So excited. I am making over a 2 hour trek so they don't have to be mailed. Follansbee WV to Polk Ohio.
 
That is nice- I looked on their web site and those were the birds they had- I wanted the blue orpingtons too

I would def. pay the $20 a chick they want!
 
I'm picking up six chicks from Meyer's on April 7th. I got 3 EE's, 1 olive egger, a Buckeye and the 'Meyer Meal Maker' which will be my mystery chick. Very excited! Good luck, everyone!
 
I ordered A LOT of chicks back in October, to be sent out the week of April 7th, from McMurray Hatchery. I got some last year, including 7 buff polish pullets, and no roo. But my free "exotic" chick was a gold polish roo, which was a perfect compliment to the buff polish.

This year I'm getting the following:

2 standard blue cochin pullets
3 standard silver laced cochin straight run
5 bantam blue cochin straight run
5 bantam silver sebright straight run
2 standard barred rock pullets
3 standard cuckoo maran pullets
5 bantam white frizzle cochin straight run
3 standard silver laced wyandotte pullets
3 standard silver polish pullets
2 standard phoenix pullets (I already have a silver roo from last year)
3 standard buff laced pullets (I lost ALL SEVEN hens from last year to various issues, so the gold roo is now lonely)
5 bantam blue silkies straight run


Lotsa chickies coming in for me! Most of them I either already have a roo for, or I just want them as ornamental pets (who happen to lay eggs now and then).
 
Wow

I wish I had the room for that many! You should post pictures on here when you get them so we can all see them and I can be jealous

You kidding? That's a given! lol!

Having chicks is like having kids. You are SO happy and filled with joy that you just HAVE TO SHARE IT! Lol!

Sometimes forceably shared- YOU WILL FEEL THE JOY GOD DARN IT
 
Haha! Sometimes that is how I feel about people's kids though. Honestly speaking, I don't really like kids. So its more annoying to me when someone starts the old "Want to see pictures of my son/daughter?!?"

You can't respectfully say "no". You're stuck. And if it's an ugly kid, god help you when the parents say "isn't she just the cutest little thing??"

You can't escape it. And they can't stop themselves. And one picture is NEVER enough! Oh god no, you must see the entire album! And check out this photo where she picked her nose for the first time!

*shudder*

At least here, everyone loves chickens (and chicks). Plus they can just skip right over the thread if they want to. No more being tied down to three hours of slideshows of little Johnny chasing the family cat, but in a different direction each time the camera's shutter opens....
