Sorry to leave you in the leach - yesterday was our first day of school so obviously things have been a bit crazy (why did I think it would be a good idea to have babies shipped the same week start school??!) The great news is that "sicky" (my 6yo DD named her) is doing great! 48 hours later...

These are our surviving six chicks. 1 white rock, white leghorn, GLW, RIR, EE, and SLW (the sick one, but she seems to be doing a bit better already!)

How do I go about giving her the egg yolk?

I've got water/electrolytes out there and I'll be checking on her/watering her every half hour to hour. She can hold her head up but not well kinda like she's too tired to do so. Her left side seams weaker than the right so I'm hoping it's not neurological somehow. I put out some softened...

2 DOA and 1 that is really really weak. Hoping for the best, going to go get some electrolites out to her. Any other tips. She seems to be having a really hard time standing or walking like her legs aren't strong enough.

So, I haven't checked in since June and I'm completely out of touch with everyone's birds. But I just had to post because my chicks SHIPPED YESTERDAY, which means they should be here TOMORROW!!! I am SOOO excited to finally get these little fluff balls in, since I've had them on order since...

I just canceled an order for 9/30 that had two cuckoo marans, maybe that will help you out!

Remember, some don't lay till 20 or 22 weeks, give 'em time. :-) A watched pot doesn't boil remember lol

Has anyone gotten the partridge cochin or black frizzle cochin from Meyer? I'd love to see pics of those two...

I get rooster paranoia with every batch of chicks - doesn't matter that I've ordered sexed females, I'm always convinced at least one of them is a roo until I get eggs lol. My current batch though, I'm really really paranoid that I have two ancona roos!

Well, you guys did me in. I just called Meyer and changed my order. I went back and forth about adding a Campine, and in the end I figured if I canceled one of the existing birds in the order I could add a campine in and DH wouldn't be able to be upset that I'd added an extra bird. Then the...

Ya'll are killin me with the golden campines! I might have to call Meyer this week and add one to my order!!!

It's hard to find girl names (apparently) that don't end similarly. In my daughter's kindergarten class there are 12 girls (I think) and ALL of them - Every single one - ends in "a". At least in your case they end in a similar sound and not all with the same last letter. Personally I really...

They are all super cute, but my oh my the Campines are stunning! Makes me think about adding one to my October order... are these the goldens?

I am so sorry Hope didn't make it - I was cheering her on over here.

So, for those of you who've gotten your spring chicks already and you ordered a "meal maker" would you mind sharing what breed you got if you know. I'm just curious if there's a trend. I'm noticing in the past there have been a lot of RSL and white leghorns from what I see in old threads...

I've found the tracking info with USPS is WAY less than satisfactory - ESPECIALLY with a baby chick order. My tracking info almost never updates until after I've already set my chicks up in the brooder - how annoying is that! I'm sure your babies are making their way across the country to you...

Sand isn't recommended as it can harbor e-coli. More info here: http://www.fresh-eggs-daily.com/2013/04/good-better-best-smart-chicken-keeping.html

I want to say somewhere in the end of September or early October so right around 4 or 5 months.

Our RSL is a bully and the queen chicken. I've thought a few times about removing her from the flock to see if that would help with the harassment some of the other girls get. I am hoping that the addition of 15 other chicks by the start of the 2014 will switch things up enough that some of...
