One Week Left - Countdown to Chicks

[SerrarGett]

So... I'm getting 8 female chicks the week of April 12th. This will be my first time raising birds from chicks and I'm looking forward to bonding with them. Hopefully they turn out friendlier than my roosters!
I ordered:
2 "Ameraucanas" - most likely going to be Easter Eggers
2 Buff Orphingtons
2 Black Australorps
2 Bielefelders

This will probably serve as a flock thread later on.
I'll post pictures when the chicks arrive, but for now you'll have to settle for my scaredy-cat roosters.

How exciting! I'm so happy for you! Please post pictures when they arrive. I have two months to go, so I'm living vicariously through everyone else's new chicks.

Good looking boys!

Congrats on the upcoming chicks, looking forward to seeing your pictures

It took long enough, but I got my chicks yesterday!
Six of the eight were shipped (they didn't have any more Australorps) and they all arrived healthy and strong. I may check out Tractor Supply's babies when these are a little older.
Here are the little fuzzballs!

I'm also really excited to see how this "Ameraucana" feathers out:
