This is our first time ordering hatchery chicks and I am happy to say that all 12 were doing great when we picked them up this morning at the post office. We received three each of Barred Rocks, Dominique's, Delawares and Silver Laced Wyandottes. I can't tell the Barreds and the Dominques apart, though!
They are settling into our new brooder very nicely. DH built this with a plexi-glass window so our little ones can watch from the outside. It's true Chicken TV! There is a center board which we will remove once they need more room. The lid is hinged and covered with mesh. So far so good!
