I was so bummed when I called yesterday and they said they were sold out. But they got their shipment from Crackle early! I got 3 buff orphingtons and 2 barred rocks. They are all supposed to be pullets, the cockerels were marked with something.

3 of each, LOL. Typing on my phone is wonky. This morning they were kind of groggy. I don't think they figured out the water bottle. Put some Rubbermaid lids (.25" tall) with pebbles in full of water. They perked up and went to town after I picked on up and set it the water. Husband will refill water at lunch as needed.
They are so much bigger already. They can fly up to the perch and from my hand back into the brooder. Their landings still need work.
They are starting to get used to me and the dog. They completely freaked when I changed the pine shavings yesterday. I didn't have anywhere else to put them and they were scared of the scoop. They settled down pretty quickly though.
