SALUTATIONS! From NC! Just wanted to say check out the Buff Orphington. My kids love their two. (Also loved that you used Charlottes greeting.)

My friends tried to warn me that chickens were addictive but

I had nooo idea. I stayed up til 2 am just researching coops. Now I'm pretty sure that it's official: I'm obsessing. No turning back now.

I measured the area for the run and it is roughly 9 x11 feet. From what I understand this means I can have up to 9 standards or 7-8 standards and two bantams?

@hennie- thanks for recognizing it!!!

I got my first chicks on Friday!!!!! 3 Silver-Laced Wyandottes. I also pre-paid for 6 EE and they should come in to the Feed store tomorrow. Now all I have to do is find a few bantams for my son. He requested 2 for pets- we'll raise them in the living room and handle them often (watching cartoons, probably!) so they will (hopefully) be pretty tame. I think we've narrowed it down to cochins or d'uccles for temperament.
