Thanks again everyone....you guys are awesome! They seemed a little more alert this evening, but still really wobbly and weak. One started eating a little crumble although it was hard for her. I will make some eggs for them and tempt them with treats in the morning and see how that goes.... They don't seem to be complaining about the accommodations indoors this evening!

On another note, the two little serama/silkie chicks are growing like crazy. They now expect evening cuddle sessions before bed (uh-oh) and have started to try and 'dustbathe' on me, which is pretty hysterical looking.

If you mix the crumble with very warm water they may eat it better, I know mine go (went) nuts for warm mash.

Ah my Silkie chick expects this too, along with my Partridge Penedesenca. Putting them to bed went from 5 mins to about an hour! I'm a sucker for their peeping and following me about!

Or yogurt. If they can drink, yogurt might be easier for them. You can even water it down a little.

They said they would but I'm not holding my breath.

When I ordered from Ideal last year I asked them to mark the packing peanuts and they didn't.
They were slightly a different color from the pullets, though.

We ordered from Ideal. I almost ordered with Tracy and Mikey but I was worried that our similar looking chicks would not be labeled and get mixed up.

Tracydr: Maybe I'll see you at the post office Thursday morning.

What did you end up ordering? Do you have different breed chicks that look very similar?

Oooooo, Oooooo, can I answer?

Tracy is getting

ONE BLUE SILKIE

10 cornish rocks
2 production reds
6 red broilers

I'm getting
2 Australorps
2 barred Plymouth rocks
2 production reds
2 red broilers
2 cornish rocks

Eager I am!

Ya know, I'm a big fan of the "pick your battles" thing. I'm thinking that prying my 16 year old son out of the bathroom that he renovated for himself (new shower, sheet-rock, sink etc..) in favor of papa's peepers (Hey, I kinda like that - Papa's Peepers!

) is not one I'm going to pick.
