Chicken order placed!

Things have been hectic at our place for the last few weeks, preventing me from blogging regularly.  I've really missed it!

Today we placed our first order for chicks.  We're very excited to raise heritage breeds from Sand Hill Preservation Center in Iowa.

We ordered just 50 birds to start and they will be surprises.  We requested 25 Assorted Heavy Chickens as well as 25 of the Super Assorted Chicks.

Hopefully this will give us an idea of what breeds we like and which birds will do well here.

Do you raise chickens?  If so, do you have any tips for us?  Please leave a comment!
