I failed in the opposite order at the local feedstore! We planned for 15 birds but chicken math happened and we ended up with 18. Went to the local store solely for chick food, and walked out with 3 more chicks (they had Gold Laced Wyandottes which we'd originally tried to get but they didn't come in when they were supposed to so we settled with others so we had to get 2. Naturally I also found an Easter Egger I took a liking to (right now it's feathering in pure white so we'll see if it stays that way or not). My Black Sex link was an accident (thought I got a Barred Rock, only to realize it absolutely was not)- but she's been the first one that will let me pet her and hopefully yours will be just as friendly!Also...
We failed at TSC
Needed to get food and some grit in preparation for the Mighty 15's arrival next week, aaaaannd....
We came out of the store with 5 unplanned babies in a box! LOL
We got 2 RIR, 2 Black sex links, and one Golden Comet. Hopefully they'll all get along once the PLANNED babies arrive.
Anyway! We quickly set up the Mama Heating Pad and food and water for them, and they all ate (didn't see them drink) and then started trying to duck under each other, so I tucked them under the heating pad and they all chirped happily and then went to sleep <3
So I still can't wait for the Monday Babies but sooo glad these girls are here!
Who else has failed at TSC
I'm sure they'll get along, my modge podge has varying ages and breeds and everyone is doing fine, though the eldest chick is by far larger and is the boss of everyone else (for now).
