I've been debating whether to order chicks or hatching eggs for August or September. I'm starting to lean towards chicks. Keep us updated with how yours are doing. Congratulations!

Thanks for the welcome

They all seem to be doing well - eating and drinking a lot. They're very cute and my kids are enjoying watching them. I will post some pics when I get enough posts to be allowed to

I agree, both on the postman and pictures

There is no way you cannot hear the peeps coming from the box. My post office was almost more excited than I was when our box arrived.

And not to mention the big orange sticker on the top that says Live Chicks. Maybe he saw me through the window and figured I'd seen him (giving him the benefit of the doubt. . .) But, still, I never expected him to deliver the chicks and just thought it was a box of books or something, so I'm glad I did see him and check right away.

Here's a link to a picture of the design we went with for our tractor:

It's almost finished - and although it hasn't been chicken-approved, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Congrats on your new babies!

They all seem to be doing well today, so I changed the sugar water to plain. How soon can they have a little pan of play sand for dust bathing?
