So, for the Cream Legbars, two pullets and one cockerel? The front bird doesn't seem to have much of a chipmunk pattern or eye spots. How are they doing almost a week later?

My order came in on Wed. May 25th.
Meyers box,

and Cackle box- surprise box- no ducks or turkeys, but 28!

Mystery chicken- same hatcheries!- I am still trying to sort out which ones I ordered from some of the assortments, I did take pictures of every chick and that helps.

I also wanted to say- I ordered my chicks in Jan. for May- that is too long of a wait. If I was to do it again, I would not order until I see Meyers had their brown egg layer female sale- $2.50 a chick, and use those as packing peanuts. and order closer to when you want them so the wait is not so long.

Cackle chicks were really fat, and friendly, I have one little orange one my daughter named Cheeto. and the friendliest is this little sumatra she named Aviator, Aviator is small, but it is probably the breed.
