Absolutely I'll post pics! My kiddos are so excited as well. They all helped daddy to build the brooder box over the weekend. I think that made it more real for them.

Wondering what you chose and where from. I am hoping they travel well and you have a lot of fun teaching the kids and taming the little monsters.

I ordered from mypetchicken.com. They'll fly out of Cleveland tonight to DFW. I talked with them this morning and she said that they check the weather and put in two heat packs when it is really cold, so I assume they'll be doing that this time since we just had our coldest weather so far for this winters hit.

And we ordered quite the variety.

2 Buff Orpingtons
2 Barred Plymouth Rocks
2 White Plymouth Rocks
2 Easter Eggers
1 RIR
2 Blue Cochins
1 Silver Laced Wyandotte
1 White Silkie Bantam
1 Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam
1 Black Frizzle Cochin Bantam

I really wanted to get a Speckled Sussex, but she wasn't available when the others were.

So far the kids have asked to use the names Sally Henny Penny, Blueberry, Oatmeal, and Little Red Hen.
