Just got my 1st flock ever "Scream!" of joy :D

[BroodyHen2012]

OK I just got my 1st flock consisting of 12 Black Langshans & 12 Buff Brahmas. I invite you all to come share my joy. Here thy all are.

They where hatched & shipped on the 27 of Jun to My Moms farm address in Sparta Mo, & where supposed to be picked up at the Sparta Mo Post Office; But apparently there was a mix up on UPS's part,
because they ended up at the Springfield Mo Post Office & UPS had them marked not to be delivered to Sparta till the 29th.
Well when Me & my Mom found this out we called the Springfield Post Office & explained that the chicks "would not shrive that long with out food & water & asked if they was any way we could get them today?"
UPS apologized & said that they would ship them rush delivery to our closest Post Office; which was even better then the Organelle set up of them going to Sparta; because the Ozark Mo Post Office is actually closer,
so we had them sent to Ozark & got to pick them up an hour & a half later with every on Alive & Well.

I ordered all pullets but my have 1 or 2 roos in each.

"aaa.. oh well"
I bought them from Ideal poultry for ruffly $81.00 with shipping; & Only 1 out of the 24 chicks is looking not so good.
I think she's under developed.

Congratulations - they look very cute.....a nice colorful mix in there.

We just got our first ones a couple weeks ago and I'm still just as excited as when they first arrived. Take lots of pictures - as you probably know they grow like weeds. Mine look nothing like when they arrived, except for the silkies who are a little slower to develop.

Thank! & thanks for your advice on the pics

they have grown so much it's seem like every day since I got them they have done something worth getting on camera & now I have tons of chicken pics

; they are used to a camera so they let me take pic of them bey them selves & up close & personal

, so now I can document them individually.

& Congratulations On your 1st flock too
