Went out to my coop this morning and heard peeping. Got down and looked under the coop to find one of my girls has been hiding eggs and today is hatch day -- surprise! Up to seven babies so far. 😲
Here's where I need help. I don't have any chick starter feed and the closest feed store is 80...
HELP!
Hatchery has sent my chicks to El Paso (300 miles away) where they're stuck and going to probably die before they can be delivered on Monday.
Anyone in EL Paso area who can take them? Don't want to see the peepers die if it can be avoided.
Thanks for any help or advice.

During my egg check this morning, I noticed that one of my buff Brahma pullets has some severe swelling going on.
Both earlobes are swollen, making her look like a chipmunk or a kid with mumps.
No other birds are affected and she has been quarantined in the sick pen. I can't be sure when it...
Howdy y'all!
I'm looking to buy some day-olds to replenish my coop (bit of a predator problem this summer!) but most hatcheries seem out of stock for the year.
Anyone know of hatcheries that will ship chicks in sept/oct?
Thanks in advance,
Sara
