I recieved a text message yesterday morning that my chicks had been shipped. Recieved a phone call at 6pm from the USPS distribution center in Gaylord. "Your chicks are here would you like to come and pick them up, or I could ask the driver to keep them in his cab but he does have several stops before your post office tomorrow?" We took the 1 and 1/2 hr drive and got 28 very alive and chattery chicks. I am so impressed right now with the USPS. After hearing horror stories on people recieving dead chicks I was so worried. Only thing is now I have 27. I dropped a naked neck turken and my jack russell was to fast for me

Triplets! Wow. She must have been one BIG bellied sheep!

I was looking into the breeds I'd need to start breeding for Jubilees... Looks like I'd need speckled sussex roo on a black orpington with lavender and mottled genes... Any body have these birds? LOL. I can get it going and then undersell green fire by a dollar. LOL.
