2022 Chicks - Cackle Experience

[SpicyDisaster]

IT'S TIME!Starting a thread to track the experience and post follow ups as the chicks grow.

First order of the season:

At 11:50AM the last leg of the countdown began with an email from Cackle saying the order has shipped.

Wait... not exactly. A shipping label has been created but don't get excited and don't get worried. It should be scanned when received at the post office (though sometimes it isn't).

So of course I've signed up for text shipping updates and still find myself checking the tracking number hourly. Sigh. Waiting is so hard!

In the meantime, got the brooder setup and figured out the correct heat lamp height for when the chicks get here. We should be able to turn on the light as soon as we get the call from the post office. I'm really really hoping for Wednesday arrival so I can get the chicks myself, kiddo has wisdom teeth getting removed Thursday morning meaning hubby would have to do the honors and he's not that great with pictures.

Two days... Maybe three... I can do this...

Just got ours today, I feel you on the constant checking emails, texts, tracking number!! Lol

Lol. Ima just be tracking you.

Tracking updated via text saying chicks are in Kansas City MO now with an estimated delivery by Friday I triple checked this on the USPS website just in case the text was somehow incorrect. It wasn't.

I'm not gonna panic (yet) as I read a few other threads with estimated delivery Friday and received on Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

I've accepted this obsession and am just going to fully embrace it.

Just got ours today, I feel you on the constant checking emails, texts, tracking number!! Lol

Did you get your chicks today or your notice today?? If your chicks, when did they ship out? If your notice, then we are in the obsessive refreshing game together!

Make sure there is photos of the chicks when they come!
