Post if you have chicks right now and/or waiting for some.

[DonnaBelle]

Presently have: 3 RIR hens, 1 year old, producing 2-3 eggs per day, plus one ENORMOUS Rooster who is large and in charge.

I'm waiting on Ideal chicks through my feed store, 50 straight run, 6 bantams. To be delivered March 12, 09.

This is my first chicken rodeo, so I'm verrrry nervous. I have everything ready, have read Storey's chicken book about 12 times, but am soooo glad I found this website, with such great people ready to give me advice.

My Granny had chickens, I remember getting in trouble for hanging in the chicken house, and riding the pigs ( hard to do). But I don't think I'll ever be able to wring their necks like she did. I can see her doing that, scalding them, and singing those feathers over the open door on the wood stove. Ah, them good ole days.

[lil'chickies]

I just received my order this morning. Just starting with

12 female Buff Orpingtons,
6 BO roos,
12 female RIR,
1 rare that I think is a white crested black polish. Maybe a bantam. It's really small. It has a really fuzzy yellow head and belly, then black all over the place. It has a line running around the back of his head too.

Lots of fun. Everyone at the post office had to look at those noisy things in the box. Hope I can keep them alive. Everything I read has me paranoid about them. Might pick up some more at the feed store. Just in love with them.
