    Well...they are here! And doing well... I think? (PIC!!)

    They are here. There are 6, alive PEEPING, eating, drinking, pecking chicks! Okay, is normal behavior to be so spunky?? One keeps hauling off and running at things, a couple are pecking at each other... not in a hateful manner, more playful- and they are PEEPING loud. There is enough heat for...

    Hey there! I have heard an awful lot about Ideal Poultry... however, I cannot order from there because I absolutely can NOT have roos. I only ordered 6 chicks, and ordered from mypetchicken.com. Has anyone ever ordered from them? How was your experience? TIA!
