They are here! All alive! They made it all the way to South Texas in one day, which is impressive. I got up this morning and tried to study for the SAT for a while before checking the tracking number (I'm going to college next year), when my mom came out of her room and said, "I hope you're all dressed because I just got a call and the chicks are on their way!" They got here about ten minutes after that, chirping and peeping loudly through the box.
Here are a few pictures:
This one is a Buff Orpington named "Mumthers", after a character in a book who was such a good cook she could supposedly make bark a delicacy. I think my brother was hoping that Mumthers would lay equally good eggs!

This little Easter Egger doesn't have a name yet:

And there's also another Buff Orpington who's name is under debate, but she will likely be Marigold.
Chickies eating some fermented feed, they couldn't get enough!
