Ok friends. I am so excited right now. I just found out that I'll be adopting four babies on May 29th!...I'm splitting a mail order with someone so I don't have to try to find home for the extras (they come as day old chicks in groups of 25 or more). I am so excited to raise hens and have fresh eggs, plus to be able to raise them from the fuzzball stage to full adult will be neat. Now I need to get my brooder all set up before our Portland vacation, and start building the backyard henhouse and run (they won't be heading to the henhouse fulltime until they're 8 weeks old so I have some time to figure out the plans). Fun!
