IDEAL pultry questions!

[fushalilly]

I ordered 3 pullets from IDEAL Poultry in Tx.

1 Barred Rock
1 Rhode Island Red
1 Americauna

I put the ship date as June 29. When do you think they will arrive here?
Also, how old are these birds when they arrive?
Does IDEAL usually put extra chicks in with small orders like this? If so, are they ALWAYS roosters, or random?

Thanks!

Also, how do they arrive? I have never ordered live ANYTING before! What do you do when they arrive?

I didn't know that Ideal would even ship such a small order, if they do, you will have a goodly group of packing peanuts... (rooster chicks of different breeds or Cornish X hens)
