Congratulations. I always feel like a little kid waiting for christmas when I order things I really want.well today i went and looked at chickens at a few places and i didn't seem to like any of them and the ones i liked they weren't selling. some looked mostly balded and picked on littler then the others, some looked dirty one place smelled so bad i was trying not to breath but was trying to be polite and look anyways..
I wanted a nice verity and i wanted to get them all at once so they will start out together so i just ordered some,, I placed a order with McMurry i hope they are good. They are supposed to be here on the 10th. I ordered the 4 wk old females...
1 Old Silver Laced Wyandotte
1 Old Red Stars
1 Old Rhode Island Reds
1 Old Buff Orpingtons
2 Old Araucana/Ameraucana
You have a much better start than I did. I didn't start reading up or join this forum till after I had the chickens. I thought it would be so simple. Not so much without knowing what you're getting into. So glad these folks were here to help me out. Google is a wonderful thing too, of course.
