That's a pretty impressive list. That's something that I'd love to get, plus maybe a few ducks! You said you got that late march? I'll have to keep that in mind for next year!

I am really pleased with what I got .... In the comments section, I asked for laying chickens and I got a variety of egg-laying chickens. I'm presuming a got a good mix of hens in there.

It appears that my turkeys are a male and female --- one is much larger than the other.

Awesome!

It would be great if the turkeys were a matched set. I seem to get more males every time.

So sweet now I want a duck, however I am sure it would be at the neighbors real soon in the big farm pond.

I can't wait to get mine!
I ordered last month, but asked for a ship date May 5th or later. Got the confirmation for shipping on May 5th.
I hope I get a nice variety and some turkeys.
