They are here; we got the call at 6:00 and went to the Post office. They all seem to be alive. Our son took them home to put them in the brooder and give them the growing gel. Praise the Lord....

Thanks They said in their e-mail that it could be seperate boxes, but not positive. We are all excited about their arrival tomorrow. My wife and son (45) are jumping up and down. Like I said earlier, this is our first time with having day old chicks shipped, and it will be a new experience...

We are getting 32 chicks on wednesday; Ii got an e-mail yesterday teling me they had shipped. We are getting them from Ideal, and this is our first time ordering chicks from anyone. We ordered 20 Buff Orphingtons, and 12 RIR, all females... We are already setting the area up for their arrival...

We have 32 coming from Meyer on the 27th of June - busy get their new coup ready.

They are lovely; welcme to the world of Chicken Crazy. We have 32 coming in 32 days; got to get busy with their coop and run. Congratulations.

We just ordered 32 chicks from Meyers to be here in 44 days. I pray to god that they will arrive safely. this is our first time ordering live chicks.

8 out of 8 for my 2 BR, 5 EE, and 1 RIR.

Both my RIR hens have black tail feathers; I'm positive they are hens.

I am very new to the game also, but we installed a 12" wide removable 'poop' board below the roosts, and we cover it with newspaper. Then twice a week we take th soiled paper off and rerplace with clean paper; we use newspaper because it goes straight to the compost heap along with the poop...

Very good info; I love this website.

You have sure changed my way of thinking - thanks everyone.
