Jess, were you at all worried about opening the box in front of the kids? I would love for my kids to see them when I first open the box, but I'm worried about finding one DOA.

I was worried about this too. And I actually opened the box away from them BUT they were right there with me when the one passed away in my hand. So we had the circle of life talk and they asked all day if all the chicks had died, so we would go and visit and I would show them that they were safe. My kiddos (4 &3) actually did ok with it! I think I was more worked up and concerned than they were. lol
