I got my confirmation that my 12 chicks are shipping tomorrow! They should be here on Friday! I am really hoping they make it ok. I will update when they arrive!

From ideal poultry?

 

[rilly10]

Yes from Ideal...so far I haven't been able to find any other places/breeders that have a different line. I am HOPING to add different bloodlines in also, just can't find any. I am SUPER worried today as we ended up with a crazy snowstorm and still expecting another 5-8". I am assuming this will add a day to their trip. Hope they are ok!

Does this breed have an SOP?

 

[maranfarmer563]

I got 25 and culled down to a trio. Trying for white birds,black crested

 

[rilly10]

Yes, they are approved for non-bearded in standard.

So I just got off the phone with Ideal and they DID ship a day early. Assuming they are stuck somewhere due to the snow. The tracking number they gave me hasn't been updated since TX and I am not sure if the Philly airport is even open. They *should* arrive today though. I am so frustrated they switched the ship date on me, especially without checking first, and obviously NOT checking the weather either. The PO said to call back at 12, that is when they should get the next delivery in, but not to get my hopes up with the snow that they won't be delayed a day.
