babys form ideal

i hope there ok they should be here tomorow do they come mail or ups and wat time do they usaly get to urhouse

They will come by the postal service. You should call your local post office and let them know you are expecting chicks. Just to give them a heads up.
You will probably receive the call very early in the morning, before the post office even opens and you will need to go pick them up. Put the heater on in your car, even if you suffocate.
Ideal mails on Mondays (chicks arrive Tuesday or Wed.) and Wednesdays (chicks arrive on Thurs or Fri). Sometimes they arrive the same day, late in the evening.
Be sure and have your brooder all set up and the heat lamp(s) going before you leave to pick them up.
When you arrive home with them, take each chick out of the box, one at a time, and dip their beak in the water, then set them down in or near their feed.
Good luck with your chicks!

I'm as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin chairs-- my chicks shipped today from Ideal, too. I have no idea what I'm getting, hah, I ordered 9 bantams and 3 feather footed pullets, but just the mixed bag special! It's going to be fun figuring out what I got!

any idea if they should come before 7:30(i want to see them before i leave for School)

They should come in on the early morning mail truck; mine came in at 5:30am. They should call you when they take them off the truck. Good luck with your new babies!
