[COLOR=006400]Congrats to everyone who got chicks today, good luck to those still waiting. I would probably be a nervous Nellie camped out at the post office! Please post more pics everyone![/COLOR]

They are all so adorable. I love that you're not sure what they all are, it is fun figuring it out with you. I just hope they are all hens, if that's what you want of course.

That is a great way to help with your loss!

Hey, it's a start for you and it works and you made a little money. Good job!

That sounds like one cool chick. Can't wait to see her process! One each of the Wyandottes? Nice. You still need a CW now, to complete the set!

I am right there with you. I have two broodies now. My PR, Rocky is broody for a 5th time and my CM, Cuckoo for the 4th time. I have both broody cages set up for them now. Cuckoo was in for 3 nights and she was back in the nest box last night, so I went to move her and when I went to get her there was Rocky a few nest boxes down. Geez! So two less eggs for awhile.

Nice! Did you order the BRLW's too or are you just tempting us?

Yes, just need a CW now. My friend has a couple of them. They are pretty enough but I need to be very careful about what I get now. Not enough space for all these chickens!

That's what I like to hear!!!

That's weird... maybe because I use an Apple?

And they're not 'supposed' to go broody! I just packed away my dog cage so of course that means I'll be getting one soon

ME!!! 3 GB and 1 OE!!!

LOL.... that's a great add on They're on my list for next time. MORE than a year... and I really mean it this time

They are on my want list too. It may not happen unless we sell a couple of our girls which will probably be hard to convince my daughter of.

@trsturself They have red leghorns and dark RIR's there too! So neat, I have never seen those before.

@NotableNancy Which day are yours coming?

I would love a dark RIR! Aaaah! Too many neat breeds out there!

Hello guys...

My USPS status says that my order left the transport station close to me at 7:53am, and said guaranteed delivery by 3pm. I have never had that happen with my orders before, I've always got a call first thing in the morning to come and get the chickys. So it leaves me wondering if they are going to sit on some truck somewhere until they make it to my post office in the morning, or they will be getting to the post office this afternoon sometime. I think I am going to go down there and find out what they know. Who needs them sitting on a truck overnight. .and won't that get hot!


Also I have a question for those of you with Exchequer Leghorns, do any of you have them in cold weather climates? I know they are a Mediterranean breed, and was wondering if they could survive winters in mid New York State area. I am 90 miles north of NYC... so not like Buffalo, but still cold nonetheless. Also, how are their personalities? Wondering if they are super skittish.

Tick, tock, Tick, tock. Tick tockkkkkkkkkk


Come on little box... arrive at my house!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend has a white leghorn in Kansas and it did fine. It was pretty cold there this winter. She's hoping to move back to CO and will bring it with her.

Here are the 5 Fry Pan Bargain boys that survived the trip - one was DOA. The black one looks very much like my Marans pullets, but as you can see, he is clean legged.




And these are the Marans girls - the one on the left has real attitude! It was almost impossible to get her picture - because she was EVERYWHERE !
They need appropriate french names !

 

[boydfarm]

I'm in Delaware County - we're close !!

Egg-cellent !

That makes for easy chicken / egg swapping

Mine arrived this morning! I did not look over my order very closely. Somehow I ended up with 20 chicks! That's three more than I expected..... Darn chicken math! But for the first time ever I had no DOAs and all look healthy and well.

So glad they arrived nice and early!!!



Anyone else waiting??? @christine9 ... you are right???

Oh my goodness. PO called. Now I'm trying to get my FIL to pick them up and leave them for me. I took tomorrow off from work (for a drs appointment ) and they are actually here early. Good thing I set the brooder up last night! I hate being stuck at work!!!
