the support group for those still waiting for chicks!
I've been waiting longer than most, believe me.
But I picked them up this morning, all are in good shape- beaks normal, all with good legs, unmarred fluff, clean bottoms. They ate within minutes of arrival, drank water off the tip of my finger and all use the waterer now; they rush to the edge of the brooder when I arrive and they let me stroke them. They poop, they groom...
Unbelievable. Adorable..
Now if I only knew what they are! At the co-op they said 'brown layers'. Well, that's good but the shipment was 'mixed bin'. Anyone care to hazard a guess?
