My 25 chicks ship Saturday, I can't wait! Does anyone know how Murray McMurray ships? I don't know if it's Priority Mail, Express Mail or Overnight anyone know the answer to this? I worry about them sitting at the Post Office all day Sunday.

I would love to know how you integrated the new ones with the older chicks...I started researching in 2009. Just moved to a place where we can have chickens. Started buying last month and just got our last additions on the 10th of this month. 17 chickens total right now. Good luck to everybody on your hatching, shipments, or feed store purchases. I'm happy to say I got all of my brood locally.

My first addition was 4 Delawares and a Silkie. The next week I got 4 RIR hens. The Delawares are now 7 weeks old. We have them in a sectioned off area in the coop until they get big enough to hang with big girls. The silkie, barnyard bantams, and the EEs are in a brooder in my garage right now. So, as of now I have not integrated anybody, but when we get to that point I'm sure it'll work out just fine.
