I will be getting new chicks 1st week of April in the mail from Valley Hatchery and am nervous now, glad it's not just me and I am sure it will be worse closer to my date. Can't wait to see your new chicks.Hi all starting this thread pre-emptively as I'll be getting my chicks in the next couple of days.
(Anxiously waiting on shipping to be updated as it's been 12+ hours with no movement lol). I know I need to be patient but I'm anxiety ridden cause shipping not being updated has happened on my other ones but the impatience on my part is unbearable.
Anyway here is the spread & breeds:
3 Black Copper Marans (1 Roo) (2 Hens)
2 Black Copper Marans (Hens)
2 Golden Cuckoo Marans (Hens)
4 Easter Eggers (Hens)
2 Black Ameraucana (Hens)
2 (Surprise/Meal Maker & Homestead Helper)
I'll try and get some pictures of each as we do and maybe try and do weekly updates depending on my work.

I'm excited to see what mine turn out this spring. I should get around to taking some pics this week I've just been swamped w/ work and other house things sadly. That is a very nice shade of dark brown.Joannie is my darkest layer from Meyers....I posted pics I believe on page 2.. Angel lays a tad darker egg than her tho, she is Joannie's daughter.

Also side note I think one of the grey's I have four similar colored (one is deff an EE w/ the nice dark green/gray legs) but I think they gave me a spare blue copper marans I'm not sure if it's a roo or a hen but it is starting to get a little red comb going on week four. We shall see! Thanks for posting again
