OMG OMG OMG waited 20 years of nomadic military life to have chicks!!!

[Upcycled]

And now finally I have ordered 32 chicks from McM to arrive the week of the 6th!

I have done more homework, research and trench volunteerism, and now FINALLY my dream of settling on to our homestead and growing a future is coming true!

I have lurked here for years AND LEARNED SO MUCH but never had anything to add or ask, really, but ...pardon me while I do a little dance and revel in the thrill of anticipation of my first few eggs...maybe by Labor Day!!!

***FOR YOU BUNGED UP NETIQUETTE STICKLERS >>> I HAVE A "CAPS STUTTER" AND I USE THEM WITH IMPUNITY BECAUSE I HATE STOPPING TO "ITALICIZE" SO KINDA.....GET OVER YOURSELVES*** There is no such thing as YELLING the written word. How absurd.

CONGRATULATIONS!

What kinds did you order?
Good for you for doing so much research before you ordered your chicks.
Oh, and of course, we'll have to see some pictures of your new babies.

Congrats! Same tough road I traveled myself (USN) to get here and well worth it! You will enjoy it! Only I bought my chickens locally!

After 20 years in the military, you deserve everything you wish for, IMO!

Best of luck to you.
