I ordered 11 chicks from them and was sent 15, so a few packing peanuts. :) All the chicks arrived alive, were very busy and active. They had been fed some kind of chick starter because they had pooped bright green in the bedding. They have been my most bright eyed, and friendly chicks yet. My order was accidentally double shipped, and the second group of chicks arrived looking every bit as healthy as the first. I contacted them and there was a human error made when I changed my order a couple days after placement. I was not charged again. This time I had been sent 13 and I gifted them out to happy homes. Customer service with them has been great. They will def. get more of my business.
The bright green in the bedding is caused from a supplement called Gro Gel. We put it in the box when we ship chicks because it provides extra hydration and vitamins for their trip. They don't have to have it when they are shipped as day olds, but it just makes for a stronger, healthier chick. You can order it from several places including Jeffers Livestock.
