Updated - I made a new thread with some more pics!! Come check them out - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=452828

I think we need NEW PICS from everyone who got their chickens throughout this thread. My little ones are 1 week old today, so they get a birthday photo shoot tonight to show the difference. Going to be pretty amazing. I can't believe how quickly they are growing, and it's wayyy more obvious...

Come look at my babies!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=450623 We did lose 4 total so far. 2 DOA - BOTH white silkies (poo) and then 1 SLW was really, really far gone and died shortly after getting everyone to heat, water, vitamins, etc. Then the only RIR just went...

Sorry for the continued losses... On a happy note...my order from Ideal shipped yesterday!! I'm expecting them tomorrow morning, but I suppose with the bad weather they could be delayed. I hope they get out of DFW quickly and in the air so they can bypass the weather they're having!!

chicknduck sorry about your loss ugh this whole thread is so depressing. i agree, i wish we'd waited until April to have our chicks arrive, but maybe I'll get lucky and they'll all arrive safely on Friday morning peeping up a storm. Have you tried greek yogurt or poly-vi-sol? We bought both...

Quote: If you figure this out, can you let me know? I'm down in Westport, and this thread has me biting my nails. The weather's been so awful this winter. Still no idea. I haven't found anything out except "they'll probably come through providence". However, attempting to get a # for the...

What a great morning for you all!! Tami, I have FB. How do I see your pics??

Tami - can't wait to see pics. So excited for you that you got them at the airport. Monday I think I'll try to figure out the whole airport thing to see if I can't get ahold of someone. Not sure which airport either, I'm in between Providence (smaller) and Boston (larger) and I asked my...

Quote: So cute...though it reminds me not to go too high when we put the roosts in when we're prepping the brooder Wednesday night!! Looks like we'll start out just a couple inches off the ground like you, to be safe. didn't realize they'd fall off... thanks!

I just sent an email and will call Monday morning unless I hear back before then. I hate that they aren't open weekends!! Grr!!

Very cute. Good luck this weekend to everyone!! The heat pack idea has me wanting to call Ideal and just pay extra for it, just for extra "insurance". Hmmm I wonder if the heat pack is something they offer...

Tami - what cute little ones!! I know they're going to be special in your heart even when you get the new arrivals. When are they supposed to come again? Can't wait to hear all about it. Really getting geared up for ours next week. Ugh this week is going by way too slowly. What breeds are...

Quote: Yes I'd definitely 1) stop by the PO and ask about your chicks, and if they haven't received the shipment yet, maybe you could plan a lunch out with your son after school in town? Instead of driving all the way back? FYI we expect our chicks on Friday (next friday) and we live in MA...

Quote: glad to hear that. This morning I put my little hope in one of my daughters old tiny mittens and then in my shirt pocket.(a poket on a tshirt on the chest) and she was with me while I planted seeds to start for spring. I have a wood burner so my basement is warm. Anyways she was so...

Wow - so sorry to hear about all of this. I am getting so nervous for my little ones to come next week. We've been getting weekly huge snowstorms (another one today through tomorrow) so I'm thankful they aren't shipping out tomorrow but I hope the weather for next week is better. I'm also...

Aw Tami sorry to hear about your Porcelain!! Adorable Silkie though!! I am so excited that I added those 4 silkies to my order, i Just hope ONE is a pullet and not all roos. We have a cat, Jake, who's a ragdoll that's grey & white long haired and I keep looking at him and think he looks like...

Quote: Congrats!! What kind of fuzzies did you order? You could say they are cookin as wee speak!! Thanks Tami! Chicken math did us in! It's our first chicks and we were originally at 8, then 12, 15...now 19! Eek! Though we ordered 25 and are selling 6 of them so we hopefully don't get any...

I want to join!! we get our new fuzzy butts on Feb 11th (just over 2 weeks!). Fun to think they're already in the incubators!
