Love it

Very true, I was worried how they'd show up. The minimum orders will end up being the reason we have to move to a bigger property...

I didn't realize that they will send them to you in the mail...I got my last six from Meyer hatchery, and didn't even have to leave the house. I can just order them from the couch! I was worried, but they seem to have been very healthy!
