Quote: You're welcome! Their combs are actually darkening a little bit.

Quote: thanks!!!

I e-mailed Paul the pictures and he thinks they are just stressed from the trip. However--they arrived Friday afternoon. It's now Tuesday evening....and they look the same. Any ideas?

Yeah--they were cold, hungry and VERY thirsty when they got here--I'm sure it's a BIG change from Florida to North/Central Washington! LOL I've been giving them electrolytes and as much feed as they can eat...so far they are still pretty pale.
