First I am testing to see if I uploaded this pic right, if I did I will add more photos.
I did it right. lol
So I got up early this morning and waiting for the post office to call. Had everything ready to go out to our heated game room where we are keeping the brooders. Finally when she called, I thought she was so sweet cause she said "your babies are here." So up to the post office I went. I asked her if I could open the box in front of her to check on them and was surprised that every one of them made it, 100.
Got them home and mixed their vitamins in the waterer and got the waterers set and them to counting and showing them each where the water was. Dipped each beak in the water and counted 26 of each breed. So 104 made it home. All seemed healthy and doing well.
This is 1 of my 3 brooders.
Here is their first picture. Aren't they cute?
I seperated 2 breeds into each of 2 brooders. My third brooder is for my guineas coming tomorrow. I am trying to figure out which breed is which still. The one had all yellow chicks, the other had redish chicks and the other had a mix of reddish and yellow chicks. I know the black ones are the barred rocks but since I am new I don't know which is which of the other 3. I ordered Isa browns, Rhode Island reds and Buff Orpingtons. If anyone knows which would be which please feel free to let me know.
This is the ones that were yellow of one breed and reddish of the other.
Here is the barred rocks with the ones that had reddish and yellow chicks.
Checking out the waterer.
Checking out the feeder.
I know this one is a barred rock.
I put 2 lights in each brooder to get it up to temp, but them I turned one off for each brooder.
This pic is a little fuzzy.
I am sure I will post tons of pics as they grow. Hope others don't mind seeing my babies.
