I've lost 14 and have 12 left I didn't get the marek's shot and they always put a little bit of the gel in the box when they put them in there. Like I said I have 14 plus a few extra cockerels for warmth coming. I'm gonna get an electrolyte packet from TSC before Monday or tomorrow so my...
Yea maybe they hatch different times. And like I said I was dead when I got them home and another was gasping for air which died,and than since than 9 more died. I came out this morning to the brooder to find 4 dead. It's the first time I ordered from any hatchery and I picked Mcmurray cause...
Thank you and yes the free blue cochin is real sweet and let's me pick him/her up. I really hope it's a hen!! And your order was longer probably cause they might have run out or some of the breeds you chose aren't available till than. Either way it's great when you get them
That's great,and not too long ago one of my white leghorn pullets died which when I opened the box she was kinda sluggish looking and they were standing on her too. But I'm glad the rest of them are lively,and I gave them a little bowl of sandy soil,wood ash,and diatamaceous earth and they...

I can't believe a week from now my chicks will be here it will be this Tuesday or Wednesday and my brooder already has pine shavings,feeder,water,roosts set up. Can't wait to get the call form the post office in a week!!! It's hard waiting for your little peepers
That's cool to hear your family has always used one hatchery through out the years and sounds like they are a good hatchery. And that's the way to do it is to grow your homestead and learn along the way,I'm getting a garden started and the chicks that are coming are gonna be part of a little egg...
I have my 26 chicks(plus mystery chick) shipping out February 2nd and I can't wait either!! And yes I heard they ship out more cockerels out than pullets as well. I'm thinking if I get a rooster,what ever breed is it I'm gonna make my new flock rooster. I have an amerecauna rooster I've had for...
I'm pretty sure it's one of the questions toward the end of the ordering and it's already selected to add to your order but I'm pretty sure you can unselect it. But can't wait for mine they ship out February 2nd!!
