After waiting a whole year from when I decided last year I wanted chickens, I finally placed my order.
I chose to order from Ideal. I was going to order from My Pet Chicken, but they haven't activated ordering. Last year I waited and waited and didn't end up being able to get the chicks I wanted.
I have a small order, so I purchased the insurance to avoid extra males. I hope they will be okay and all make it.
I know that I could lose some, so I am mentally preparing myself for the possibility and have told my 9 yo dd that it might happen. Hopefully, it won't.
They said the ship date will be March 11.
I ordered all pullets-
2 black Australorps
3 barred Plymouth Rocks
2 Buff Orpingtons
2 EE's
I am nervous now.
But, I am also happy and excited.
Now to finish buying the stuff I need like a light, pine shavings, a waterer, feeder and feed.
