My 50 K.K. arrived on Thursday. I ordered 50 and 53 showed up all in great health and active even after @40 hours in shipping. Mr. Noll was a very nice man and very honest. So for 50 K.K. and shipping to KS from PA it was 57.00 not too bad! I did loose one yesterday but that was my fault, the heat lamp fell on him and hurt him so I had to put him down.
They are very active and healthy chicks, so far they enjoy eating, drinking, sleeping, chasing a fly now and again and racing each other up and down the 8ft brooder they are in. Me and my 6 year old put a large grass hopper into them and it was so funny to watch 50+ chicks chase a grass hopper 1/2 thier size up and down the brooder. That was a hoot! We finally took it out because I was afraid if they did catch it and actually kill it it might not be good for them to eat it at 1 1/2 days old.
Well as they grow I will report on them and how they are doing. Perhaps another possible chicken other than a CX or FR. The peeps are black with a white dot on their heads. Nolls says they should weigh 5 pounds in about 8-10 weeks. We will see. They are suppose to have a superior flavor to the other meat birds as well.
