It had something to do with shipped chicks needing more heat the first few days.
regardless, I house all chicks in the coop and still gonna use the sweeter heater due to safety.

That makes sense! I have several heat sources for my shipped chicks and really go overboard with their first few days Syringing vitamin water, etc

Ok-so I wasn't going to jump on this wagon for a ride this year but......yep chick order for 2022 is in at the local feed store. They will be here Mother's Day weekend-present to myself.

I ordered 9 female chicks:
3 Mystic Onyx
3 Cinnamon Queen
3 Cream Legbar

We are building a new coop this spring, our current flock of 7 will move to the new one in hopes that my Brahmas hatch some eggs this spring/summer and then this group will go into the current coop we have.

I ordered my first chicks ever--due here in late April. We're currently finishing our coop--it's big, but one end has its own door and will be a sort of closet for garden tools. My order is pretty mundane, but I won't care. They're breeds reputed to be friendly, and I'll have eggs coming out my ears the first year or two.

From Cackle, two of each: Black Australorp, Barred Rocks, Delawares, Buff orpies, and Speckled Sussex.

FWIW: Cackle made me check something saying I'd use a lamp instead of a plate, too.

They want you to use a lamp instead of a plate? I prefer my plate and I have idea why it's any of their business. That seems weird.

This is my first time using either of these hatcheries. Hopefully it will be a good experience.
