I'll be sure to share pictures of my little meaties... if they show up! lol

Only if they arrive in proper working condition please...... that seemed like a long time in transit

You guys are killing me!! I want more babies like crazy but I keep telling myself to wait for spring and get them from my cousin's feed store again so I don't have littles in the winter. And then I see these and am all........

Do the leap NOW... there is enough time before cold weather sets in for your cuties to grow, and feather out sufficiently.

You're killin' me here!! I have like a whole list of reasons to wait until spring and then I see baby chicks and am all but dragging out the brooder again.

Get that brooder out! Post office surprised me and they called this afternoon. I don’t understand why USPS offers tracking if they never update it. According to them my chicks are still in Iowa! Oh well. The important thing is that I have my birds and nearly all arrived alive.

At half mast today.

Awwwww. Look at that adorably grumpy face!
How come all your "non-broody" breeds go broody?

I've got plenty of "Useless bantam chicks" (with a few more seramas due to hatch next Friday) and a couple SLO eggs just sitting on my table - looking for an incubator.

I've got the 6 seramas due next Sunday, but with the delicatenature that seramas are, I'd hate to risk putting them with all those big fat clumsy orps out there. I gave her 1 lav egg last night. May need to throw some slo eggs under her. What gives? Not even the half silkie Phoenix has gone broody twice in this many months!
