Chicks came late mail.

Normally chick delivery was 1st thing in morning. This time for whatever reason they came to post office on afternoon truck.

Wife set em up in brooder, lost 3 "bonus" chicks ( BPR males) they were sent (From Mt Healthy) in boxes of 51. 2 RIR straight run 1 BPR Bonus chicks. So even with the 3 we still ended up with the 150. One RIR probably not gonna make it long splayed leg won't even try to move.
Gladly we didn't lose any reds ( except probable splayed) so we'll have 101. And 50 freezer birds, plus any cull RIR roos.
I always hatch so I'll be keeping some roos.

Lots of late chicks and eggs right now. I have 4 packages in my send/receive watchlist. All 4 late! I sent some duck eggs that sat 20 mintutes from my house in a warehouse for a week before moving. Glad so many of your little chicks are surviving the delay!

Congrats on the new chicks! My hatching eggs were delivered to the wrong town--90 miles away! Some crazy delivery stuff going on. Good luck with the new flock!
