    Will they fly away?

    My chicks arrived!!!

    I got a call from the post office around 10 this morning that my chicks had arrived. Of course, it was a very busy day at work, so I couldn't leave so I told the postal worker I'd get there when I could. Well, at 1:30 he calls me back and tells me that the chicks are very loud and they would...

    Identity of mystery chicks?

    I got my MM order today.... I was supposed to get EE, RIR, and one free "exotic chick of their choosing". So I know who the EE's are, and I know who the RIR's are, but there are two chicks who look different. Of course, I also ordered 25 chicks and got 30, so its possible I guess that they...
