Any other ideal orders coming this week?

[Enchanted Sunrise Farms]

When i placed my order with Ideal yesterday by phone, i asked about that. The woman said i would not receive any additional calls, they would just ship on that date. Maybe if you order by email you get more notification?

I received my order today from Ideal..2 were DOA (either Ameriaucana or Wyandotte). Looks like the 4 peanuts are Leghorns or some white breed. The remaining chicks have some neck feathers missing, but all seem to be doing very well. Ideal was very nice when notified and even said to wait until Friday to make sure all the others were still doing okay.

You ordered 7 chicks and got 13 packing peanuts?!? Holy moley, that's almost twice the number of your original order. i ordered 15 silkies, does that mean i'm going to get 30 little roosters stuffed in?!?!?!

either 20 or 25 is the minimum number you have to order to get no peanuts.
if you order less, you get the remaining amount in peanuts.

you should only get 5 peanuts.

This really depends on the time of year. I typically order in the warmer months and order 10 or so and have never received males for warmth. However, I have an order that shipped today. I have 7 chicks, 2 ducks and 1 goose. I may end up with some peanuts.

WOW - They made good time. My PO just called at 6:20 am. The chicks are there. That is awesome Texas to Maryland in less than 24 hours. BTW - I did tell the PO to call me as soon as they arrived. He apologized a few times because it was so earlier.

Mine shipped yesterday, too. I'm up and waiting for my phone call...just in case!!! But it doesn't look like I'm getting my call this am.

I'm a little disappointed. I'm really excited to get them. I'm in Tampa, FL.

Like I said, I usually order later in the year. My order arrived this morning with 15 peanuts. 1 did not make it through shipment. Everyone else is doing great.

2 Production Reds, 3 Easter Eggers, 2 Quail Antwerp Bantams, 1 African Goose, 1 Fawn and White Runner duck, 1 Indian Runner duck and 14 Peanuts.
