Quote: I had to laugh when I read your post...I, TOO, am a mad woman researching day and night it seems. My little chicks are due in April 8th and the excitement is killing me! I've got my brooder box all set up and I keep looking at it, moving things around inside it, should I do this? Should I do that? Drives ya nuts, doesn't it???

I ordered them from cackle hatchery a week ago ..they are due to **** on the 7th of april and should be here in wny by the 9th..

I have 4 hens now just a yr old ..I've been wondering the best way to introduce the lrg new flock to my older hens ..I no I have to wait till they are the same size ..but I guess anytime you are adding new chickens to an existing flock theres tention..lol

I am very exciting and cant wait to see them all ..I have my brooder set up in my livingroom ..my wife wasn't happy with this set up last yr , so I was surprised she suggested it this yr ..she knows she loves the birds as much as I do ..lol

So I haven't even gotten my chickens yet and already added/changed my order

. I so like the Brahmalot thread that I changed out my BO cockerel with a DB cockerel and added a partridge rock pullet. All to arrive week of 5/5

. Have my chick starter, light, hanging waterer, food dispenser, meal worm treats, nutri drench, and am going to set it up on my enclosed porch in a x-large wire dog crate with a cardboard rim. I would love to put it in my dinning room but fear my 3 cats would injure/scare them.

I had so wanted to start my coop (keeps getting bigger) April 1, but have to much snow still for that. It's a good thing I have a horse stall I can move them to if necessary until there coop is built

I am patiently waiting on:
2 Orpington pullets (1 buff, 1 white)
2 JG pullets (1 black, 1 white)
3 Rock pullets (1 barred, 1 white, 1 partridge)
2 BA (1 cockerel, 1 pullet)
1 SS pullet
1 Delaware pullet
4 wyandottes (1 GL pullet, 1 GL cockerel, 1 SL pullet, 1 Columbian pullet)
2 EE pullets
3 Brahma (1 light pullet, 1 dark pullet, 1 dark cockerel)
and a rare exotic that they are throwing in for free.

Did I say patiently

I want them NOW! Just keep repeating: Do not go to TSC....

Waiting is so hard!!
I added 2 copper Marian pullets to my order Friday and then decided this morning that I'd like to switch our EE cockerel to a cooper maran! I swear that will be my last order change! Lol. And I am staying far far away from farm stores for a while!!

Don't tell my hubby that the reason I'm changing cockerels is for the chance of olive eggers someday!!
