Well that was a long week! I'm in the New England and with the snowstorm we had just over a week ago we lost power...for 5 days. I have to say these are very hardy little chicks! We didn't have a generator (or any heat) at all the first two days so I kept them as warm as possible with bottles...
Does anyone here keep only (or mainly) SFH?
With all these chicks it got me thinking, that if I love them as much as I think I will, might concentrate solely on SFH. Right now I have a mix of breeds and was planning to keep a rooster from a couple of the harder to acquire breeds, though not...

Oh boy! I already have a few extra roosters from my spring hatch that need new homes. Hopefully I luck out with these and have a ton of females. Also hoping extra SFH cockerels might be easier to find homes for than some other breeds - especially if they turn out really pretty.

They're home! And I may be developing psychic powers.

Yeah!
And also yeah that mine might be coming next week after all! They had an order cancellation and that bumps me up to this hatching I guess!
Looks like I'm going to be waiting longer for my babies . They were supposed to arrive the end of October, but now they're saying early November with two orders ahead of mine.

They sent me an e-mail the day after I ordered. Also, I think I ordered just after you (I ordered Wed morning). So maybe if you haven't heard from them they had enough for you for next week.
I ordered mine the other day. The website was saying next week for shipping, but they must have run out as I'm going to have to wait until the end of october!
