I am so excited being a new chicken mom and all. Went and picked up our little chicks first thing this morning from the Post Office. The clerk was nice enough to have even put a blanket on them to keep them warm. The little ones were quite loud in the PO and on the way home. All arrived alive and well all in all this shipment included 6 Barred Rocks (5 pullets and 1 cockrel) and 6 mystery "packing peanuts". If anyone knows what they are please let me know. They loved getting that first sip of water and chowed down on their starter and Grogel right away. Playful and funny, in and out of the heat, jumping, running and playing. They are just too cute!!!




Close up of the mystery chicks. Any ideas???
 
I don't know much about chicks, but your mystery chick looks like our Rhode island Red.
 
Not sure, I think the pics are making them look darker. I know they are too dark to be BO. RIR would be cool. I have some of those coming on the 10th with the rest of my chicks. They are all so adorable though!!
 
Yeah they are way to dark to be BO. I say RIR!!!! So HAPPY for you!!!!! Congrats

Thanks we are so excited. Just cleaned the paper towels, changed the water. I am shocked on how much they poop. Just put the fresh stuff down and they had already started messing it up. They are so funny to watch, jumping and playing, cuddling and sleeping. It is funny when they start to run and their little brakes don't work. Full of spunk and energy for sure!!!!
 
Congrats on your new chicks Freespiritmom! The mystery chicks look a lot like the RIRs that were at our local store last week.

HAHA I know I would sit down by the brooder for hours just watching them!! One time this one decided to run as fast as it could to the other side of the box but didn't stop fast enough and ran into the wall, fell on its butt and was looking around like " what happened ". It was one of the funniest things :) I miss them as babies
