Enclosed are 2 photographs of my 4 Rhode Island Red chicks that I purchased from Cackle Hatchery and received when they were 2 days old. They sleep in their brooder in my dining room and play in the coop during the day here in SC.
Although I may have hens in my city, I may NOT have a rooster...
I asked around and Cackle Hatchery in Missouri sends chicks through the US mail system which has caused me to sleep since Wednesday morning when I received the tracking number from Cackle. lo and behold my post office called me at 7 am this morning and I had 3 precious 2 day old chicks plus one...
Absolutely love your post. Therapy chickens are a solid part of my life. My 11 year old Ethel died last week so this morning the post office delivered 4 precious 2 day old babies. Big smile on my face. Thanks for sharing your beautiful babies !

I am a vegan chick mom and adore have my chicks as pets. Your chicks will certainly be a lot happier than industry birds. You are an awesome mom all the way around.
I am an experienced pet chicken parent. My beloved 11 year old Rhode Island Red girlie Ethel has begun her final journey - she laid eggs until just a month ago. This is a major loss for us as we love her dearly.
I ordered 3 day-old chicks from Cackle Hatchery today and they should arrive in 2...
