Yes, mine have grown so fast. I posted a picture of them on my thread today. One of the chicks is twice as big as the other two!

Yes puppy pads would work perfectly. I always use paper towels for the first week and a half and then switch to pine shavings, my chicks are ready to make the switch from paper towels to shavings today, they are growing so quickly.

What hatchery do you order from? I ordered from chickensforbackyards.com and I got 100% alive, healthy chicks.

Yay! So exciting!

I am so sorry! I would be absolutely crushed if that happened to me. I hope your next batch goes better. Have you considered getting chicks from a feed store, they do not have as many breed options but at least you don't have to worry about your chicks being shipped.

Last year mine were shipped on a Monday and arrived on a Wednesday , this year I picked up chicks from my local feed store.

I finally got my chicks today! You can see them on my thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/958904/getting-3-baby-chicks

I feel your pain

So cute!!!

Do you have any pictures of your chicks @ORChickFam? I would love to see pictures

Post pictures when you get your chicks home!

Are these your first chickens?

That is so exciting! (lol I am having fun with all the emojis that this site has )

So are my babies I am getting mine Friday and I am so excited!!! I can not wait anymore!!!! This is what I am getting: 1 Easter egger pullet 1 speckled sussex pullet 1 Silver laced wyandotte pullet This is the thread I mad about my chicks I am going to post pictures on there...

Great Variety! I love the breeds you picked! Be sure to post pictures when your babies arrive.

I have never read about that before, I assumed they just sexed them as soon as they were all dry. In that case I would think that 3/23 would be the day that they will ship your chicks because they are saying that chicks are available on that day. If you really want to know you could call Murray...

I would assume that it is the day they are being shipped, but usually they get shipped the same day they hatch.

Yay!!! Were your chicks shipped today?

That is cute, but as long as its an easy word to say... For example don't use chicken in Japanese which I think is yowamushi.... I am not positive tho . Other than that its a great idea!
