Hi there! I have 24 "special assorted bargain" straight run chicks from McMurray, and they're 3 weeks old now. I didn't know I could become so attached to little birds! Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures I've taken of them so far. If anyone has any ideas as to breed or sex, I'd love to hear them!

I took a few of the most feathered-out chicks on their first trip outside over the weekend - they couldn't get enough of the grass and bugs and sunshine

My dog was a bit confused as to why the creatures from the basement were in his dog crate though...

I have a few different color/patterened chicks with feathered feet (all have 4 toes). This lil guy's my favorite - his name is Fritz:

Two other feather-footers:

This guy is about 1/2 the size of the other chicks, but I thought I was only going to get standard sized chickens... maybe he's just a runt though:

Pretty sure this guy's a white leghorn. I was worried he was a cornish x in the beginning, but he's no bigger than my other biggest chicks:

Very cute!!! I, too, have OCD. My chicks are due today or tomorrow from MPC. I was up all night!!!
Called the PO 3 or 4 times...(they know me by name now).
It's like giving birth without the labor!!!

organichef; I couldn't sleep either. The day before they arrived, I took sweets to the post office- so they'd know that I appreciate their gentle handling of my babies in advance....I'm certain its a symptom of OCD...
 
What a great idea, noodleroo!!! I can do that at lunch today!! Take them some cookies or something!!
Thanks!!
