I took this just a few minutes after I received them.

Here they are in their brooder.
I ordered 25 chicks. I got the 25 + 2 free chicks= 27 total.

This is the free rare chick, any idea what it is?

Oh yes. Keeping the toddler away from them is a job itself. He wants to hold them, and squeeze them, and love them to pieces. LOL!!

I am really happy with my McMurray chicks

After hearing about those that had their chicks lost in the mail and those that had loses due to weather and/or mishandling of the mail, I am worried. I placed an order for 10 chicks in November at My Pet Chicken with the delivery date the week of May 12th. We are in GA so I hope by then it is warm enough for them. Now just I am just worried about USPS getting them to us on time.

Since it's a small order they may be shipping USPS Express. I live in CA and when I order from MPC my chicks ship Express and are here in less then 24 hours. Last time I ordered they shipped out at 4:00 pm on Monday and I had them in my hands at noon on Tuesday.

Are those Lincoln Logs for a perch? What a great idea. I think I will gather up some sticks of various sizes for mine and then attach some to 2x4 so they are off the floor.

I really shouldn't have read this thread, but I already knew the dangers of shipping and know someone near me that had issues with the post office. I have chicks being shipped to me from an individual but shipping is always shipping and once they are on their way there is no more control....
