how old are hoover's hatchery chicks when they get shipped and arrive?

Is that fancy-looking roo in pics 1 & 2 a Brown Leghorn? My first flock roo was a BL.

Yes he is! Brown leghorn roosters are awesome! They are great with the hens!

None died when they arrived, but the next day 2 died (rockie and silly Pete) (I think they died because I didn't give them a heat lamp, though because I didn't know they needed it) then 1 died (ginger) a month or 2 later, then one mysteriously dissapeared (holsted, named after the show Chicago p.d), then we had to give away one of the roosters (cluckles) because he was aggressive, then one of the hens (sunny) died from being egg bound 2-3 times. So I got 17 from Hoovers Hatchery and have 11 left. I would recommend hoovers Hatchery, though. I now have about 60 chickens.

Not bad! I'm getting my first shipment of chicks in a bout three weeks and I'm really nervous
