Anyone impatiently waiting for your baby chicks to arrive?!?!

Well they finally arrived! A 6 week old Buff Orpington and 6 week old Rhode Island Red. They were very well packaged with cucumbers and cantaloupe. They were very thirsty and a bit on the dirty side but otherwise appear healthy.

That's really cool! I have heard of ordering older birds in the mail but have never seen any pics before!

I ordered 3 baby chicks that I will pick up at my local feed store either next Wednesday or Friday, if anyone wants to watch them grow up I will post pics as soon as I get them and as they grow on this thread.

Poor, sweet babies! What a wild ride they must have had! So what are their names?

My babies don't hatch until April 6th and the agway by me has babies today. So hard not to go get some because I don't want 2 brooders. I keep looking for more chickens. I have only one right now because the other turned out to be a rooster. She is 4 months old and I'm getting three 4 month olds the end of the month. I think 10 is enough for this year but I can't stop looking!
