I had an arrival date for today. I called the Post office yesterday to check and see when the trucks come in so I would know when they would call. They told me 6am and 7am. So I set the alarm for 6am. I get up and wait and wait and wait. So its going on 730am and still no call. So I go ahead and call them. To my horror I get sorry no chickens came on either truck. I ask if there are anymore trucks today he said no, not till tomorrow morning. So there I am freaking thinking the worse after reading some of the horror stories on here. I was just about to give up when I had a brain storm, see if they can check the distribution center in Gaylord. So I call back, talk to the same guy who was super nice, he said he would check and call me back. About 15 minutes go by and he calls back and says sorry not there either, but he gave them my contact info, cause there was a flight that was running late so their truck was late.
About 2 hours go by and the phone rings and its the Gaylord post office asking if I want to come get my chickens.
So its a 2 hour drive there and 2 hours back. The ride there wasn't bad, it was the trip back, you know how much fun it is to be trapped in a car with a box of chirping babies.
But here they are, I get more pics when the batteries charge.
I ordered 7 California Whites 8 Buff Orpingtons.
But I have 17 chicks, that's if I counted right. Like a dummy when I was taking them out of the box and dipping their beaks I never counted. Now trying to count is real fun.
