Chooks is back in business!

Just got my order from Cackle today and after a few years break the chook house is full We have black silver Wyandotts, Salmon Faverolles and Speckled Sussex! I am thrilled with them all. Cackle put in extras so we have a total of 28..still a little in shock going from 0 to that number I blame dear daughter who did the ordering. ps...I have changed that paper towel 3 times already today LOL

Your chicks are very cute! Do they have a heat lamp?

 

[ChooksinChoppers]

Yes they have a heat lamp I turned it off momentarily for the photo

Looks like they need a larger brooder and maybe you can start putting out pine shavings instead of paper towels.

Super cute chicks! Have you had good experiences with Cackle, or was this your first time ordering from them?

KikiLeigh02 This was the first time ordering from any hatchery and we found the web site a bit clunky to get around in (too used to Amazon) LOL but the chicks arrived in good shape..all alive albeit a bit cold and protesting loudly. It took them most of yesterday to warm up and quiet down. This morning they are cheeping happy cheeps (which I love to hear)
