Countdown to Baby Chicks 2023 edition

[Iluveggers]

Got my 2nd order of chicks. Assorted Wyandotte, GL and blue, silver leghorn, BA and sex link black Marans. Lost 2 but 4 extras in the box. Hard to tell the BA and marans apart. 16* outside the PO.

Wow! Where did you get them again? Nice that they included 4 extras!

It was a 2nd Privett order. Have orders from 3 other hatcheries so I can evaluate same breeds for future orders.

Exciting! All these posts (and especially the pictures!) are giving me chick fever bad! It's been so mild here, I'm ready to call it spring and just get to hatching already. If only my birds would get laying!!

Going to be 66 degrees for the second day in a row, then snow rain mix in a few days, hard to know if I can even prune my trees, what is even dormant????

They have finally arrived!! Heres the blue. I noticed they all still have their egg tooth despite being 6 days old, should i do anything about that??

Well I got refunded for the 9 that passed. The lady asked me which breeds were lost, and I’m like… i cant tell the difference between the leghorns and amberlinks, or the OEs and Mystic Marans (both copper maran crosses). So I left the refund to their discretion.

I’m trying to socialize with the chickies more - invited them to class today!

Do you know what breed the yellow chick is in the first picture? My “Americana” looks just like her.
