WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT DID YOU JUST RECEIVE?

Yeah...but I have 40+ or more coming in Less then a week. And I already had picked up 9 a month ago. I had to promise that wouldn't keep all just my favs. What's going to happen when they are ALL my favs?? This is just this yrs babies not including my adult birds.
 
Hey all:  I see all these pictures of cute little chicks and wish I had started earlier :-\  I have ordered a total of 32 chicks from Mcmurray Hatchery but the soonest I could get all the ones I wanted together was the end of May :-\  I know the time will go by fast... it always does (looking back), but I guess it gives me time to get everything prepared as this is a first time for me. I ordered 8 each (7 hens and 1 rooster) of four breeds:Black Australorps, New Hampshire Reds, Buff Orps, and White Wyandottes. 

I had wanted some Delawares also, but couldn't coordinate an order delivery date to include any. I hope they'll all get along as I'm hoping for eggs and meat as well as future chicks. So, I'll spend the next 2 months here on BYC trying to learn all that I can. This site has been fantastic so far!  I need to learn how to use it as well lol.Always more to learn :)


My little de from mm had wry neck so I got her over it with vits..she's 100% and last night I picked her up and I swear she was purring and snuggled into my lap and arm to sleep omg so sweat. I also have 3 more from mpc because they are so sweet
 
I picked up my two buff Orpingtons, a sl wyandotte, and a cuckoo maran this Wednesday from Farm and Fleet. They use cackle hatchery and it's a sweet deal! The chicks are cheaper than ordering yourself and there's no shipping cost! Plus, it gave me a chance to ogle the others. Had to add a Dominique to the box XP

The buff Orpingtons are the cutest yet LOUDEST chicks I have ever seen.

I'm in the same boat as you. My order does not come until mid may, also for meat and eggs. It was recomended to me by others on this site to get atleast 2 roo's of each in case one dies during shipping. I checked with my supplier and they ship extras. They promised to send extr a boys if they were sexed. I would check with mcmurrys and see if they do the same.
