2014 Hatchery Chick Orders

[SlipsWife]

Wow, somehow I have been missing this thread!

I have on order from Cackle:

Shipping 4/21/14
10 Spitzhauben straight run
5 Easter Egger pullets
15 Cochin in assortment
2 Bourbon red turkeys
1 NH red rooster (a dog got mine and my cinnamon queen breeding pen can't function without!)

1 Hatchery surprise shipping 6/2/14

It is such a looooooong time to wait I got 16 assorted silkies from Hardin Poultry/Heirloom Orpingtons and 7 chicks from TSC.

Did you request the 6/2/14 ship date for the hatchery surprise or are they that booked out?

I requested it. That way my brooders should be empty and ready.

Sure...rub it in that I didn't pre-plan this very well...If I had your address you would have a surprise hatchery surprise at your door...

Seriously though...I did not plan this out very well...

Wasn't my planning. My hubby didn't want to build ANOTHER brooder lol. I almost succumbed to chicks at tsc but then realized I would have to buy a light and a tote and stick them in the laundry room. Made it easier to walk away!

Our Cackle Hatchery surprise made it in, all safe and sound.

There are 47 chicks and 2 ducklings. Pictures and 'guess the breed' will come soon. They faired the weather nicely and are being extremely loud this morning!
