Thanks for welcoming me. I just ordered 1 buff orpington, 1 black jersey giant and 1 laced wayantotte. They will be my first and can't wait for the girls to arrive.

You're starting off with some nice egg layers. Do you have the brooder ready for them? They'll be ready to settle in after the trip to your house.

Hello and Welcome to BYC!
I love both Wyandottes and Buff Orpingtons (I've had/have both.

They arrive early June. I have a 3 year old Sulcata tortoise who's old home will be a perfect brooder. I also have several extra ceramic heat lamps and bulbs that I bought when the tortoise (Dixie) was little. Just need to get a feeder, waterer, bedding and food.
