I'm impressed with the shipping supplies your babies were sent with. There are too many heartbreaking stories about questionable shipping practices.
What was the heating pad they came with? Was it like the pouches you put in your mittens while you are skiing?

chickbea, There was nesting material, that looked like, well a nest. It was the right size and they were really content. The heat pad was like the head pads for warming your feet and hands for skiing. It was warm when I took it out.

Love the pics of your new babies. the baby with the white stripe on it's head looks just like my Barred Jersey Giant did when he was a baby. Hence the name Skunk. So I agree that baby is the barred rock. My son's preschool has some of our eggs and ones from my mothers farm in an incubater and today they are peeping and starting to work their way out. The preschoolers will enjoy rasing them till the end of the week then the babys come home to stay

Hi Julie, the grey chick is a blue cochin. I have a white cochin in there and a partridge cochin. I am so anxious to see them feathered out. I think I will want more by then. ha ha I have five cochins, five araucanas, five buff orps., and five dominiques...the black and white ones.
