Most certainly will...very excited about it. I've been reading info all day to make sure I know what I need and how to take care of them.

Got my ladies 2day! 6 pullet isa browns I believe is the breed....someone may be able to clerify. Got them in there home made brooder for now. Not sure how old they are got them from tractor supply. They seem to be settled in nicely.

Congratulations on the new chicks, they are cute! They look under a week old. ISA Browns are a great red sex link (sexable by color at hatch, the girls are reddish) hybrid, bred to lay a whole lot of big brown eggs! Here is the breeder page for them http://www.isapoultry.com/en/products/isa/isa-brown/

Great, thanks for the info. What does it mean the laying period? 18 - 90 weeks....
