Ok I finally got to use the computer tonight instead of my Nook. So here are some pics of my Ideal babies! I haven't had a single problem with any of them, not a single pasty butt, tired chick, or death from my Ideal chicks. I just have to say they have all been awesome!

Here they are on arrival, I still can't get over how big the goslings are

The silkies, I have black, blue, red, buff and partridge (plus a mystery colored one)

My turken chicks; buffs and reds (I think at least)

My Easter Eggers

My Barnevelder and Speckled Sussex

Our Ducklingss a Black Swedish (Perry the Platapus) and a Snowy Mallard (Ducky MoMo) my daughters named them can you tell

My goslings, that are just to cute for words, Cilly the Tufted Roman and Mother the Pomeranian

I hope not for you.

The older chick thinks I'm her mommy and the younger chick thinks the older chick is HER mommy.

How adorable! You should take a picture and share it with us!

Whenever I go in with my camera they stop doing it. But here are some pictures. Of course then the little one has to try and squish herself back underneath her "Big Mommy" again.
