Sheldon had a little bit of a pasted bottom, but I cleaned it right up.

Did you call the Hatchery of post office to confirm that they will arrive tomorrow?

 

[brotchicks]

I don't have the tracking number so I can't. But the hatchery did say that they were sent in sat. and should come tomorrow if not today.

They are so cute! I can watch mine all day (if I didn't have to work!).

Ours are zooming around the bath tub. Very active, so happy about that. I hope they are all girls. Do you about what age you can tell if they are?

Usually around 3 weeks of age you can tell the boys from the girls, but it is very obvious by 8-10 weeks, that is the age where you pretty much know for sure. Did you order sexed pullets?

Here is a night-time sleeping picture of the chicks!

It is so cute how they all snuggle together!

Awwww, so sweet.

I got mine at the feed store who said they ordered sexed chicks but there is always a chance they can get a few boys sometimes.

Here are two pics from today.


The one most forward is Marcia. She already seems like a mother hen.



The left one is Cindy and the rear right one is Jan. I love the marking on their eyes. I am in love with them. I hope no boys so we don't have to re-home any of them.
