Some lucky person got AC's. Luck beauty wise, but not a super egg layer wise.

I hatched out chicks last fall. I culled some of my roosters today. They had a nice life, with one bad day. I still have about 7? Roosters left. Before the cull I told them they were a good birds, they didn't go to waste. I kept roosters for beauty (blue feathered, clean legs, colored egg genes and personality). I will be interested in what roosters get sent. It would be nice to keep everyone. I do try and keep some.

As far as roosters go, I like to raise them up and let them become someone, before even giving them away down the road. You really don't have to worry about a rooster if you live in town till it crows. Until then enjoy him.

I have a cackle surprise box shipping out march 21st. I am glad to hear that your chicks got to you within the time frame. After hearing about the proposed Mail slow down, I became a little nervous about it. Missouri to Texas shouldn’t be too bad.

Yay I'm glad my experience can help alleviate your worries! I was scouring the forum for any hint of travel times and mail slow downs. We are getting a replacement bunch sent Wednesday the 9th so I'll be able report if the 48hrs is consistent at least. Hopefully your chicks arrive swiftly and in good health!

Our 7 barred rocks, hatched February 16, had their first trip outside today. they Looked so happy, it was tough to bring them back into the garage (it’s 75 & sunny here today)

They look like they are having fun! So adorable in their grow out phase

Oooh what did you order? Even though I just got mine I'm still loving living vicariously through others. I can't have ALL the chickens.

No chick photos today so I'll substitute with my year old ladies enjoying the sunshine and freshly dug dirt. Irrigation wire line was recently installed and they have decided it's the best place for dust baths: fresh loose soil in direct sun that is double warmed by heat from the south-facing wall. Spoiled girls. Can't wait for the new newbies to get their first dust baths

Five of the Bantam silkie mix and ten bantam Easter eggers!

R.Bamboo would like to know what I think I'm doing disturbing the piece with this offensive thing. Blue Ameracauna straight run. This chick seems to be regularly more aware and focused on me than the others so I'm adding him to the Roo Camp watchlist.

Imagine working in a hatchery….they’d have to check my sweatshirt pocket and purse every time I punched out!

I’ll take one of these, and one of those, and one of this kind….lol!

I'm sure they'd have to search us ALL!

I'm in Iowa, and Cackle (in Missouri) is only a state away. But, apparently they were shipped TODAY (Monday) and won't arrive until THURSDAY! I am so confused. That seems like a long time in transit when Kansas City (where they are currently) is only 2.5 hours from where I'm at. That doesn't seem right.

Maybe it’s not. I bet you get them before that!
