my new chicks came

[marvun22]

I got 15 chicks from Ideal and they all came healthy for now. I got 3 Buff Orp hens, 2 Blue Cochin hens, 1 Golden Laced Cochin hen, 1 New Hampshire roo, 1 Rhode Island Red roo, 2 barred rock hens, 1 black australorp hen, 2 white leghorn hens, and 2 easter egger hens. I'll post pictures later. Are the chicks suppose to be active right away, or should I give them time?

Hello,
I went and pick up my chicks from 2 different places and both times the chicks slept for the first day and then became active the next day.
I think because they were so scared about being pick-up/caught out of the brooder that they were exhausted.

mine are all active and eating right now, so I'm happy. Also, my mailman (who I know very well) thought they were hungry so he gave them some crackers. They ate all of them. Most of mine are all O.K. with being held.

I promised pictures and here they are

Buffs and Leghorns.

Those same ones and 1 Ameraucana and 1 either Australorp or Barred Rock.

Here is most of them (they just discovered their food and water).
