Hello from Mayberry

[MayberrySaint]

I just wanted to let you know what a great forum you have here at BYC. I was raised on a farm and we always had hens and chicks around. Well, after many years and being influenced by all your stories, I have placed my order with McMurray and expect to receive 32 babies next week. I ordered 8 Light Brahmas, 8 Buff Orpingtons, 8 Black Australorps and 8 Silver-Laced Wyandottes.

Hi there NY here! I've got just about everyone of those chickens. You'll love them, they are so pretty and good layers to boot!!!

Andy, way to go on the Light Brahmas. You won't be disapointed. They will become your best friends.

Mount Airy, is a beautiful place, I visited there last year. It will be very nice for you, I am thinking there must be lots of chicken folks around. It is a perfect spot with lots of country nearby.

Welcome and enjoy you birds, of course we expect to see photos of the babies.

I also agree with the Brahmas...I miss mine badly...
They're heavy breeds, so they may not lay until they're 6 months old...
Big, is that a Brahma as your avatar?

Thanks for the vote of confidence for us all...you have to show us the babies when you get them settled.
