They're here! I was very impressed at how alert and active they were upon arrival. Everyone has found their food, water, and heating plate. The little Faverolles is quite a character already - she's zooming all over the brooder! I think the Meal Maker is a Rhode Island Red.

We received our three chicks from MPC this morning. They were originally due yesterday, but got delayed. I was relieved to pick-up a very chirpy box this morning from the post office. I also realized, after ordering, that the chicks really just come from Meyer.

We have a Dominique, Easter Egger, and Welsummer. The little Welsummer seemed fatigued this morning, but has perked up now. All are drinking, eating, and making a mess of the brooder.

Thanks, everyone! They are super cute; I always forget how tiny newborn chicks are until I hold one.

UrbanFlock916, I'm glad your babies arrived safe and sound, too!
