Ideal Hatchery

[SunAngel]

If I could reorder my first chickens, I would have chosen probably 25 different breeds lol. But I only got 5 different breeds coming this time, but a couple colors of 2 of them lol. I am running out of room, time to build another coop! lol

Everything I ordered came the next week or the first Wednesday after I ordered. They shipped out Wednesday and I got them Thursday morning.

My chicks arrived today! The post office called me at 7am and I ran down to get them. All were alive, but no extras, which I guess is good and bad!

Here they are in the box. Individual pics in the other thread.

I was up at the post office getting my chicks at 6:30 this morning. I ordered 6(bantam), but they sent 12. I can tell the extra 6 are standard size chicks though. Im trying to figure out what they are, they are completly red. I think I'll post pics in the 'what am i' section later.

I got them today! Yay! All healthy looking and eating and drinking already. I had to lower the heat lamp down quite a bit, as they were crowding under it. It's not really cold out, but definitely not 90. Now they're warmed up more and nicely scattered about the tank.

I had a missed call on my cell when I woke up this morning (at 7:45 am. not too late, I'd think), but it was an unlisted number and they didn't leave a message. Not expecting the chicks to arrive today, I didn't worry. I give my cell phone often for stuff and thought it may have been a telemarketer. I mean, the PO would surely leave a message when there's chicks involved, right?

LOL, no they didn't. However, they DID call my home phone (a # I didn't list on the order) a short while later and offered to swing by and drop them off themselves! Port Orchard isn't THAT small of a town, but I suppose so many folks mustuve ordered chicks around here, the chirping was probably too much. They were here about hour after the first call.

Congrats on getting your little chicks today too!

I guess they had just bumped you to the next available shipping day!
