Aw, thanks! They were really being cute yesterday, too! Must be they've realized their time inside is limited.

They are so sweet looking. The other one looks like she is waiting her turn to snuggle.

I'm keeping an excel sheet with all the info for each chick I have and I'm going to document when each one lays an egg. I wonder how it will compare to all the other Meyer chickens out there?

Plus it gives me something to do related to chickens while I wait impatiently for my first egg.

I have 50 chicks out of today's hatch at Meyer. 30 Rare Layer Assortment and 20 LeAnn's Adopt Me Special. Fingers crossed. I'm looking forward to their arrival in the next couple of days. Squee!

I'm just getting started on the preparation for some chickens for me & my grand-children to enjoy (and for the eggs). I'm researching. I've noticed a lot of post refer to Meyer Hatchery as being the main place to order chicks from?? I'm preparing to get some chicks for the first time and I have a few questions. First....what is the normal wait time on receiving chicks from Meyers? What can I expect when I receive the pkg? What would be the next best hatchery besides Meyers? I have my brooder already prepared. Just trying to decide which would be the best breeds to order. I want large eggs yet gentle, affectionate type which will also make pets for the "grands". Any suggestions there would be greatly appreciated. Thank y'all in advance.
