I definitely will! And yes, that's the mix, they are so puffy, fluffy, and cute They are supposed to lay a light greenish egg, I can't frickin wait!

Did you place a baby chick order?Are you counting down the days until your new little puffballs arrive? This is the thread to share your impatience, your excitement, and announce the day they get here before starting your own show off your new chicks thread!

If you want to join me, please post:

3. Where you ordered from
4. What was in your order

Let’s be impatient together!

Me, me!!!!! my chicks from Murray McMurray are in the mail and shipped on Feb 7. USPS says they are "on track to arrive on time" when I track them, but it doesn't say when on time is. I'm waiting for the post office to call. It's 8:40-ish am. Argh! today or tomorrow. Ready for it to be today because I work tonight night shift!!! Oh well. It's like having a baby. Sooner or later it's bound to happen.

Yesssss, it’s so annoying they don’t have a proper date! Mine weren’t scanned in and only have they went through the big center somewhere in MO I think? So.much.anxiety

It's weird. I chatted online with MM. The rep said they drive the chicks to Minneapolis post office, which gets a bit overrun by them and doesn't always scan everything properly just puts them on planes... I'm thinking USPS has one job!!!... Like, if they are supposedly so careful and these shipments are insured, you'd think they would track them well. Plus, I'm in Los Angeles. It's one flight away, with no ground transport. Not sure why they ain't here yet. They literally coulda driven here by now. Oh well. I hope they arrive alive.

Didn't order anything, but do incubator hatches count?

1. Your expected ship/arrival week
Valentines day! A very exciting hatch date. My V-day is going to be very exciting!

2. How many weeks are left
One exactly. Hatch day never gets less exciting!

3. Where you ordered from
NR360, we got the eggs from our hens. Does this count?

4. What was in your order
We should get 3 Jubilee Orpingons! We were hoping for the first baby for our bantam EE project, but the egg was infertile. We have fertile EE eggs in the bator supposed to hatch in 3 weeks though.

I'm waiting for mine. They left last night around 6pm. We are only 4 hrs from the hatchery so I thought they would be here today but I went to the out office and she said they don't have any deliveries for today. Their next delivery is 3am and she will call me if they're on that truck. Fingers crossed. The tracking is useless. It hasn't even said they were accepted into the system yet.
