    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    Not a "cute" picture, but MAN - these chickens feather in fast! Almost 2 weeks old and wings are almost completely feathered, tails are feathered, and the buff orpingtons (not pictured) are starting to get feathers on their backs! This is one of our Barred Rocks. Daphne (barred rock) is still...

    WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT DID YOU JUST RECEIVE?

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    My Australorp looks like your Brahma as far as feathering goes. NO tail feathers and just a few wing feathers. Otherwise happy and healthy, though! She used to be my friendliest chick and now she's the flightiest. One of our Barred Rocks is so friendly she runs up and jumps in my hand! The...

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    That is SUCH a relief to hear! Hopefully she's just a slower-developing hen. We can't have roosters here, so fingers crossed for all girls!

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    Here are my babies, at 1 week of age! Buffy, a Buff Orpington. Sherlock, a Buff Orpington. Wing and tail feathers! Daphne, a Barred Rock. Letty, a Barred Rock. Sheila, an Australorp. Slower to develop feathers than the others - no tail feathers yet. Please don't be a...

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    The tracking information took forever to update on our little chickies! It drove me insane! We actually got the call that they were at our local post office before the tracking info really updated - but all that mattered was that they arrived safe & sound. They are so much fun! Update with...

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    My little Australorp might be the least mature (feather-wise), but she is the first one to sleep on my little training roost! The others are just sacked out all over the brooder, haha. The Barred Rock next to her is using it as a pillow.

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    That is the worst part of it (waiting for them to ship and then worrying until you can get them at the post office)!

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    Mine is little, too. I think they must mature slower than the other breeds. So far, my BO's are the fastest maturing, the BR's are next, then my little Australorp!

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    That sounds so cool! I wonder what kind of chicken it was? We didn't make it to the fair this year.. I thought about taking my younger son, but my older one would have been upset that he didn't get to go, too (he was in Kid's College at JCC all week). Sigh... we may try to go to the Warren...

    THEY HAVE SHIPPED!

    Mine are starting to get tail feathers now. The buff orpingtons are definitely feathering out the fastest, followed by the Barred Rocks. My little Australorp doesn't have any pin feathers on her tail yet.

    Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

    We just had chicks shipped. The first shipment died, unfortunately - they were shipped with a heat pack (4 chicks) and may have been mishandled by the post office.. but the consensus seems to be they died of heat stroke/hot car. The second shipment arrived on Tuesday (this past Tuesday) - NO...

    NEWBIES with Hatchery orders!

    Our second batch all arrived healthy and happy. They're 4 days old now and have wing feathers! The first batch had heat stroke. This batch was shipped WITHOUT a heat pack and was healthy and happy at arrival. No pasty butts here at all so far!
