Picked up my chicks this morning. Everyone is active, drinking and eating. Sadly I had to go to work after getting them moved in. My Marans are a little smaller then the rest but the rest are Cornish x and red broilers so am not sure if those aren't just larger chicks as a rule. Cute little fluffy butts. Will post pictures later this weekend. Long day they called early this morning for pick-up. Of coarse I didn't want the chicks to hang out in the post office so called them last night to tell them to call me on arrival to get them. Elizabeth Big R also got 300 pullets in today along with ducks. They are overloaded. Some older chicks they said they were going to discount this weekend . Still trying to decide about their swap this weekend just to see all the animals!
Happy to hear they are doing well. I couldn't pick mine up today, will be getting them tomorrow. I ordered a Buff Brahma, a Cuckoo Maran, and a Partridge Rock. Since I hatched my chicks last year I started them on medicated feed. I bought a small bag but haven't opened it because I wasn't sure if they were vaccinated. Anyone know?
One of the organizers said at the end the Sweeny's store behind which the swap was held had forgotten to post it on the door, even though the other two stores had it posted. Oh well.
