New Peepers from Meyers are here!!

[southernbound13]

I am absolutely beside myself! I've raised probably close to 100 chickens in my life but never done mail order. This year I really wanted to try some new breeds after a rogue neighbor dog devastated our flock so i ordered from Meyers. I was so nervous that I would open a box to find dead or lethargic babies but instead I found nine bright eyed happy peepers that went straight for the water and food. They shipped yesterday morning and I got them right off the truck at the post office this morning. They're by far the largest and most fiesty chicks I've ever had and my kiddos are thrilled. I got a:
Blue andalusian
Black copper maran
Gold cuckoo maran
Black australorp
Barred rock
Buff Brahma
White leghorn
Americauna
And the meal make mystery whom I suspect is a buff orpington.
LOOK AT THOSE FACES

Congratulations! Each and every one of them is adorable!
Your family is going to have a wonderful chicken experience.
Make extra sure that heat lamp is secure since you have it near shavings.

Congratulations on the perfect little peeps!!!! What could be more adorable than those tiny, fluffy faces?

My last Meyer group contained a Golden Cuckoo Marans and Blue Andalusian, too....by far some of the sweetest girls.

Enjoy your newest family members!

Yes absolutely! Its clipped and tied with fire retardant rope and I have a thermal camera with an alarm installed. I'm a little paranoid

Good job! And it’s not the dreaded bulb with the teflon coating on it, right?
There was a problem with them last year. Teflon kills birds.
Not trying to frighten you just want to make sure you’re safe.

.... oh dear now I'm concerned. I checked all over the box when I bought it for any mention of a coating and did see anything nor on the website. Its feit brand... does anyone have those?

 

[southernbound13]

Ok feeling better. Just dug around and it's not a shatterproof bulb so shouldnt have any kind of coating
