Ordered online. Now what?

Here's my little wyandotte. I'll get better pictures of them later when it warms up and they have time to rest. We named her Daisy.

Finally got pictures of some of the babies. 2 California whites, a gold wyandotte, an olive egger, 2 red stars, a golden star, and the last one I'm unsure of. They're enjoying their brooder space and have the zoomies. Running back and forth from end to end.

Did you end up ordering blue cuckoos? I love the California Whites, so adorable & I’ve never seen the chicks before!

Aww I’m sorry. But very glad your other chicks are going strong.

@Obsessed With Silkies I just got off of the phone with my post office. Mine doesn't allow live animals to go out with the mail carriers so they said they call first thing in the morning once they arrive. Mine opens at 5 but they said they don't make calls until 8. I may call early when they are supposed to arrive to pick them up right away.

Mine has the same policy, but one of the mail carriers ended up delivering a batch of turkeys I ordered directly to the house instead of holding them for pickup. How they never got fired for that, I don't know.

Well,I ditched the heat plate. I put them all under it when we got home and they stayed put before I left. I went out when the sun came up and 1 was dead in the other end of the brooder and another was dying ontop of the heat plate. I gather warmed up and she seems to be doing better now. I buried the little baby that died. I now have a heat lamp in there and they're all earing, drinking, and running around. I've never lost a chick and am so sad now. I should have just used the heat lamp from the beginning.

I lost one under a heat lamp (incandescent-Fla summer) don't blame your setup. Most likely shipping stress.
