The lady at our Post Office woke us up this morning, and sweet DH jumped out of bed and drove me over there so that I could ride back with the peeping box in my lap
We found out later today that his father will be in the hospital for the next week while they do an emergency multiple bypass
which is why I'm just getting around to posting this! Please pray for my sweet daddy-in-law!!
Anyway, we placed a big order to split with some friends on Jan 29, and they finally arrived this morning!
We ordered 10 white silkies, 5 Gray Japanese Bantams, 5 Silver Seabrights, 5 Dominiques, and 15 assorted standard layers and 5 assorted Silkies for friends. We received around 13 white Silkies (I didn't get a good count of what our friends got - I just pulled out everything that I knew was mine then gave them them the rest...I took 10 white Silkies and they ended up with a few too), 3 Silkies of other colors, 6 each of the Japanese Bantams, Seabrights and Dominiques, and at least all of the standards. In all I think we ended up with about 8 packing peanuts!
They are all adorable and doing great! (Sorry the pic colors are kinda off - my heat lamp makes all my photos kinda yellow
)
They all like to take turns being Queen of the Mountain...or just falling asleep on the mountain
The Seabrights are the most adventurous and curious...they are so cute! Everytime I point the camera in the brooder, a little Seabright comes running up like "hey lady! what's this?"
The Dominiques are needy! There is always one or 2 of them peeping way louder than the rest, then I let them sit in my hand and they immediately fall asleep! When I put them down, they go right back to peeping
The Japanese Bantams are the least concerned with me...in fact they are near impossible to catch! They are notably smaller than all the others, and they look like little penguins...especially from behind when they are ducking around underneath everyone
They're adorable
And they love their new hot tub
Cackle recommends that the water is 98 degrees for the first few hours or day, and they all love it...
I love to watch them all sleep
Thanks for letting me share!!!
