nayeli how have the Sebright Bantams you got turned out? I ended up with one male and two female Silver and three male and two female Goldens. They are pretty much full grown and feathered except for their heads. And, I am almost finished with their pen. They will have a 3 x 5 "coop" of their...

So far 8 Sebright Bantams are surviving. Other that the one we lost in the first 24 hours they seem to be doing great. Active, happy peeping, eating and drinking and poop, poop, pooping!!! We did have a scare last night though. At about 2:30 a.m. there was a nasty storm pass through and out with...

I am thinking about it but if anything will turn me vegan it will be the act of killing a chicken that I raised from a day old. Everyone tells me that roosters will change my mind but I can't see it. I tried watching a You Tube on how to do it and it was too much like watching Texas Chainsaw...

I am so glad that they got here safe and that we all survived the experience. They are beautiful but of course mine are beautiful-er.

That is what I was thinking...either RIR or Red Ranger Broilers...but I will be surprised if there is a female in there the way they are behaving right now is very rooster like. I may have to take a deep breath and learn how to butcher and dress a rooster in a few months...not something I am...

They are here...THEY ARE ALIVE...9 Sebrights (4 Silver and 5 Golden) and a hand full of mystery chick packing peanuts. They took the scenic route from Cameron, TX to Coleman, TX (300 miles) via Houston and Lubbock (a 1000 mile trip). I know the next 48 hours will tell and I suspect I will loose...

I just checked with the post office. There trucks have not arrived yet, they are running late. However, postal tracking shows that it went from Houston to Lubbock to Abilene and left Abilene so it should be here this a.m. Lets keep each other posted and post pictures if that are any to post. I...

No news yet. I don't know when the post office updates their tracking if ever but they still have them having arrived in Houston and nothing else. I have passed the going crazy part and am now in the seriously depressed stage. I can only hope and prey that they are here in the a.m. and still...

I truly hope that yours are not with mine for their sake. I just spoke with the post office in Coleman and was informed that they probably were still in Houston, that they would have been sitting there since 9 p.m. last night for forwarding shipping this evening...and guess what...they will go...

My guess would be that since you are in AR yours went to the freight flight center in Dallas from Burkholts and will fly direct to the freight flight center in what ever town in AR. I am almost will to bet you will get yours before I get mine.

Mine went to Buckholts, TX (a tiny town of 1,000 with a post office I guess) and stops with them arriving at Houston at 9 p.m. last night. It goes on to say my shipment is in route to its destination but there is no indication of it ever departing Houston. So, God only knows where it may be. If...

Got the tracking number from Ideal. They ship USPS so we are at the mercy of our all too efficient government. The closure of the Abilene Sorting Facility impacts any hatchery I would deal with, not only Ideal. For instance, a shipment from Murray McMurray would in the past come to Dallas, then...

Update. The USPS just updated my tracking information to show that I should expect delivery on Friday, October 10th. That means 3 days to move 8 day old chicks a distance of 300 miles...I could walk there and back in 3 days. At this point I will be really surprised if I have a single live bird...

O.K. here is what I have discovered about my Bantam shipment due from Ideal Poultry. In the past anything I ordered from them was delivered the morning of the day following the ship date. That is one reason that I have used them...my birds did not have the stress of a 2-4 day trip. Just an...

I suspect that today has just been a dry run for both of us and tomorrow we will both be greeted by little peepers early in the a.m. At least we know all the parts work, the brooder is warm, the food and water with electrolytes is ready and waiting. I am still going to call Ideal when they open...

Just looked at the email from Ideal again. It says Just A Reminder. then in the body says Your poultry order has been shipped today. That was received yesterday so I would think they were shipped on the 7th. However, at the top of the email it says Ship Date 10/08/2014 which is today. I think...

Just got back from the post office and there was no delivery for me (at least not yet). I am a little concerned because in the past all Ideal orders have come the next morning after shipping. They are only 300 miles from me after all. So, if they are delayed it is the post office with the glitch...

At my post office there are people sorting mail and getting ready for the day between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. I just go the the back door (loading dock) and stick my head in and ask if they have a live chick order for me. Usually I can hear the peeping and they are happy to get them out of there and...

Did you get notification that they had shipped? I got the email late in the day and was surprised they had shipped a day early. I am only 300 miles from the hatchery so mine are an overnight shipment. Absolutely you should get in touch with your post office as soon as you can to let them know to...

Just got an email from the hatchery. My order has shipped. Eight Sebright Bantams (Golden and Silver) SR. And, what ever they put in the box for warmth. They are a day early but I am ready. Have the brooder all set up and tested for heat (which they would not have needed today it almost hit 100...
