Awesome! SLW's are adorable. I'm probably gonna get some Cornish X and some Silkies.

Awesome, Wyandotte! Enjoy your new babies... And some advice: take tons of pictures and videos! I wish I had more videos and pictures of my girls as chicks.

I was GIDDY placing my order last night! (until I realized I just spent $70!) I really wanted GLRW, but they weren't available when I wanted to get some chickens! For some reason, I never dawned on me to order earlier!

I am getting some from them too! I am getting a BO rooster, 1 americana pullet (which I think is really EEs, I have some already, but I love em anyway!) 1 white leghorn, and 1 barred rock. I already have 12 chickens. When the roo is old enough I want to hatch my own eggs, with one of my hens hatching them! I know, it is a long way into the future, but I AM SO EXCTED! I have 2 wyandottes, they are very pretty. They aren't the nicest birds on the block though.

I have some eggs from my Silkies cooking away in my incubator! They go on lockdown tomorrow. I can't wait to see them!

Ooo!! I'm getting some chicks from my local feed store in March- April. You see, they have different breeds coming in on different dates, and all the breeds that I'm getting aren't coming in on the same date, so I'm getting one every week this is the schedule:
3/21/13- I get my Buff Orpington Omelette (yes they're named ;D)
3/28/13- I get my EE Pippy
4/4/13- I get my Barred Rock Hedwig!
I'm super excited I can hardly wait!!!
