Ahhhhhh!!! I did it! I ordered my chicks!!

Hopefully they'll be sent on the 31th and arrive shortly after. I need to call the post office to see if I pick up or if they deliver to my door.
 
Congrats!!!

Good going! It's a really tough decision, isn't it, but you can't really go wrong with the ones you ordered. Have you seen 'Mad City Chickens'? Check it out if you haven't - it will give you a lot of laughs and some moral support AND some good information. Have fun! Chris
 
I received my 5 silkies from My Pet Chicken... they shipped on Monday at 5:00 and I received them on Tuesday. I had the post office call me when they arrived and I went and picked them up personally. Didn't want them in the mail truck.

Congrats and good luck... you have no idea how addictive these little buggers are.

Just a quick suggestion... when they arrive give them some sugar water to drink and fresh hard boiled egg yolk (smooshed very well) to eat. I offer the water for the first few hours and make sure I see them drink. If not, dropper feed. I then keep the egg yolk around for about a week as a treat twice a day, in addition to their chick feed. The love it and it is really good for them.

Enjoy and welcome to the world of chickens!

If you dip their lil beaks in the water, they will get the idea and know where the water is as well. Some will drink right off, others explore a bit first. Same with the food. Even if you don't give them food right off, they MUST have water! Good luck with your babies!
