Chickens ordered!!

Sometime during the week of April 1st we will be getting a shipment of baby chicks. Let me tell you,
I am SUPER excited. We have not done chickens before so we have a ton to learn this year but we are ready for this adventure. And when I say ready, I mean that we are ready in our heads but on with ANYTHING else. We will need to finish the chicken coop and run, get feed and build a brooder. SO MUCH TO DO. We ordered both layers and meat chickens since we eat chicken so much and love it.
Layers: Pearl-white Leghorns, Black Star, Rhode Island Red
Meat: Orpington, Red Ranger, Delaware (not sure how these will do, I have a book that says they are good for meat, we will see).

We will see how it goes, we actually have no idea if we will even like raising chickens. However, if we decided that we don't like it, they won't live forever and we don't have to do it again.

Looking forward to April!!!
