For those of you in Utah county: I called the IFA in Spanish Fork today and they said their chicks came in yesterday. We went down there and they have Brown and white Leghorns, Barred Rocks, RIR's, and Sex Links. For those of you with Polish hens: Do they do well in Utah? I so wanted Polish...

I am in Spanish Fork and I would like to place an order from McMurray Hatchery for February day-old chicks. I only need 12, but the min. order is 25. Is anyone interested in going in on an order with me? We could split the shipping costs and make it cheaper all around for each contributor...

I'm a first time chick owner. I have 3 chicks that are 3 weeks old. They are so fun to have. I have noticed that lately 2 of the 3 are acting a little more aggressive toward each other. They chase each other around or try to jump on each other. They don't seem to be hurting each...

Yes. As you can tell, it was first thing in the morning. Still in her jammies and with bed hair and all. But, I thought it made it all that much cuter.

These are our first chicks ever. We had ordered a buff orphington and a white plymouth rock. This one that you see was uniformly yellow with pink legs and beak. The other one (that didn't make it) had some brown throught her down and had some darker coloring on her legs. So I assumed the one...

I took these this morning. They were so cute I just had to share. I thought maybe some of you would appreciate the sweetness of it all... my baby is 2 and the chicks are almost 3 weeks old. The little sleepy one in her arms is a white silkie, and the other one is??? I thought it was a White...

I've had a very similar experience. I ordered 7 chicks, they sent 8, although the extra was DOA. They shipped on Tuesday, but I didn't get them till Thursday morning. Lost 2 the first day, tried the sugar-water trick, but 2 more the second day. We are down to 3. Very sad.

I ordered one white silkie with my order of 7 assorted breeds. They are only 3 days old now. The white silkie is probaby my most lively one. She goes from the feeder to the waterer and back again and does lots of funny things. I was afraid, since she is the only bantam, that she would get...

Nevermind. From the time it took to type that messege, I went back to check on her and it was too late. She's passed on to Chicken Heaven. My daughter will be so sad...

I just got my 7 little chickies this morning. They had sent an extra silkie that was dead upon arrival, but everything else I ordered was alive. There have been 2 that have been lethargic all morning. One seems to be sleeping alot, but helping herself to water now and then, but the other I...

I'm pretty new to chickens, but I love this forum and have been visiting it for awhile. I'm in south Utah county

I was just wondering if your chicks have arrived yet. I'm still waiting for mine. I fully expected a phone call at 4 am this morning. I called the PO at 8 am just in case they had a bad phone number or something. They said they still haven't arrived. So I am still waiting and wishing...

I"ve never had chickens before and I'm expecting my chicks to arrive tomorrow! My husband has been building a nice chicken coop for them. We've been shopping for wire for the run and decided we like the welded-wire fencing look better than traditional chicken wire. But it comes in all sorts...

MOSELLE!! A kindred spirit! Mine are also being shipped by Express Mail, but I did get ahold of my PO and then said that they would call me to pick them up when they arrived. They said they will most likely arrive on the "first truck" which arrives around 4 am. But they said they could wait...

I've never owned chickens before, but I am expecting my first little (7) flock tomorrow morning!! As I wait with ever increasing impatience, I've been looking through all the other posts and pictures of you lucky ones that are already enjoying your babies. When it comes to size, I realize...
