I'm waiting impatiently for 8 chicks to arrive but they won't be here until MAY. May is forever away. I've wanted chickens for 12 years, so the wait shouldn't be too bad, but now that I'm actually able to have them, time is dragging by. And people at work are sick of hearing about it, but eager for eggs.
But, I'll have time to be really ready, and read up on problems people have had so I'll know how to handle them.
Oh, I forgot the breeds:
2 black australorps
2 buff orpingtons
2 golden laced wyandottes
2 silver laced wyandottes
(all pullets)
I'm worried that they'll arrive in bad shape, or incorrectly sexed, or just not arrive at all, but I worry about everything. I'm going to a chicken show this month to make some contacts so maybe I can have some local sources as a backup if any of my worst worries actually happen!
