So sorry for your loss. I just started with chickens last year and I love them!! Over the year we lost one to a fox, one to sub zero temps and one to a dog. It's heartbreaking. Hopefully it's the last loss for many years. Hugs to you. And enjoy your new bitties!!:hugs

Thanks, but the chicks are the beauties, I just kneel down and push a button. I am ridiculously in love with these bitties!!

It's a little ridiculous how much I am enjoying these chicks. I did lose 2 so far. Both my spare BLR Wyandottes. I'm already considering getting some more spares. Just in case..... Here was today's pictures. The girls were in a shoe box with a mason jar of hot water to keep them warm while they...

A friend gave us our existing flock on a trial to permanent basis. Keep them as long, or as little as we want....while I love having chickens, 2 of the 4 are older and not laying. I really wanted to raise a flock from the start with the breeds that I chose. So the 4 older hens go back to their...

They came!!! They came!!!! I got a text alert that they made it to my post office around 3am. I got older boys on the bus andmy daughter and i arrived at the p.o. just as they opened. I got the call to come pick up my chicks while i was walking up to the counter. Lol. 7 out of 8are

My babies left Cleveland last night, en route to Chicago burbs. I should get them today!!!! So excited and a little nervous. My 9 year old daughter told me if this box has dead chicks in it, then I can hug her all I need. She said when she is hurt or sad that my hugs make her feel better, so it...

My anxiety is running on high, the weather forecast has the overnight temperatures falling and that is how I lost the last batch of chicks in the mail!! Come on Mother Nature, I can't lose another batch!! I'm so worried. Please prove the forecasters wrong and make it warmer then expected!! I'm...

My countdown to chicks is starting again. 6 days to go! Hopefully this third time is a charm. The first batch had an issue with the hatch numbers. The second batch arrived dead. (Poor little biddies. Rest in peace, little fluffy butts.) I placed my order in November for a mid February...

My husband also likes to complain about the chickens, he talks about leaving the fence open or the coop door open so they escape, but he will patiently dig up worms to hand feed them....I think he secretly likes the chickens, but doesn't want to get roped into the cleanup! Lol!

My delivery from Meyer Hatchery to Chicago suburbs only took a day. They shipped Monday and I got the call Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, the temperature dropped overnight and my biddies froze new batch is in the incubator now.... 3 weeks left to wait....

I'm sure you are only thinking of the cute little biddies and their welfare, which is good as they are helpless little fluffballs . It's nice that you care so much for your pets. However, if your mom loves you enough to drive that far to pick up chicks for you, I would hope you you express your...

Oh my, that is SO SAD!!!!! :hit So sorry for your little biddies.

I just called the local feed store. They have a very limited selection and their next batch wont arrive for two weeks. So, its 2 weeks for onlyvtwo breeds i wanted, or 4 weeks for all 6. But you are right. I dont know if i want to gamble on msil order again.
