I received an order from Ideal 2 weeks ago. The chicks arrived 24 hours after shipping & all were active & healthy. Who knows what they will look like when they're grown, but they're very cute right now. I got an assortment: Welsummer, dark Brahma, Brabanter, EE. Here's a pic; you can see they're still very active

you got very lucky then, I have ordered over 100 over a 2-3 year stretch, never got a single one bearded!
and yes chickens and most all birds molt twice a year, most of ours are in the process right now actually so it shouldnt be long for yours either

i was kinda worried also about heat...its been over 95 to 102 each day...

but they are less than 3 hours drive from me and already talked to post office, they will call me as the truck comes in

which is normally 4:30 am LOL, for its going to be a very early morning for me

for sure i will post pictures

I already have 2 russian hens, for i went ahead and ordered 3 more hens and 1 rooster...
no one i mean no one has them anywhere that i could find around a 100 mile radius...
and everyone that has seen them is like, WOW! do you have any extra ones for sale?

for i figured what the heck...time for some fertile eggs/ babies

Packing peanuts are for warmth in cold weather. However, if the need to get rid of some roos they might add some.

Im really growing back to my hair color....I went to refill my chicks waterer ( the one with a red screw off bottom) I left the bottom so I could go refill, when I came back...I noticed the bottom had a little bit of water. I didn't want to spill the water in the bottom, so for some reason i thought I could flip the container filled with water on the bottom....ya......It didnt work.....FAIL


I hide my face in shame
