My ship date was this monday. (3/2/09) got them Wednesday morning (3/4/09). I live in RI so they made pretty good time considering they came all the way from MO.

THis is going to sound weird but, where did you get the thermometer?

That is the kind I've been looking for with no luck.
Your babies are so cute. Enjoy.

I got it a while back, I'm pretty sure it was from Walmart as part of a two thermometer set for like $2-3 bucks. You can't see it in the pictures but there is a metal bracket which I eventually poked through the cardboard to secure it to the side of the box. The chicks kept knocking it over if it wasn't secured to get at the shiny screw on the back. lol

Wow, thanks to your pictures I finally can pick out the RIR chicks. My local farm store just got in a new shipment of chicks and I want only RIR and they don'thave them marked as to which are which and I had no idea. I've spent 3 hours online trying to find a picture of a RIR chick. Thanks very much. This is a great site. Loads of information.

No, No problems at all. They don't tell you if they have actually shipped on the date they tell you but if you email them they will confirm. They got back to me in just a couple of hours. All in all I'm very happy with Cackle, great chicks, on time shipping and the prices were reasonable. I hope you will be as happy as I am with them!

Oh my goodness they are so adorable! I am going to get my first batch next week and I'm sure I'll be the same, when it comes to pulling myself away from them

Thanks for mentioning the running around and "dropping dead." I had no idea they did that and it would have freaked me out!
