Chicks Are Here!

[Mak]

I thought they would be here yesterday, but no.

But, then, the phone call came this morning: "This is the Post Office. We have your chickens." I drove right down and got them. They are sooo adorable! We got 4 Dominiques, 4 Red Star and 2 White Crested Blue Polish. One of the Polish seemed a little lethargic at first, but she is up and moving about and eating and drinking, so I think maybe it was just shipping stress. I've been going down to look at them every 10 minutes or so! LOL

This one of each: A Dominique, a Red Star and a WC Polish:

Doesn't take them long to find the first bits of food I put in there!

Or the heat lamp!

It looks like you got a WC black and a WC blue.

 

[Mak]

It could be. They did say that the WC might be black, because of the genetics of the dilute gene. It's ok, they are both cute!

I don't know as much about the breeds as others here, but I sure know 'cute' when I see it! Enjoy your new babies!...

Did you get yours from MPC also?

[Mak]

Yes, MPC. I knew they were going to be cute, but this is beyond adorable!

I have been taking 10 minute breaks from watching them, my son (2 years) wants to play with me, but the chicks are just so fun to watch! lol (that doesn't make me a bad dad does it? lol)
