I got my first ever hatchery order this morning a day earlier than expected. They all survied the trip and are happily eating, drinking, and napping. There was one that seemed a little chilly so I held her for a few minutes and now she is just as active as the others. Here is what I got:
3 California White
2 Barred Rock
2 Black Australorp
3 Buff Orpington
4 Silver Wyandotte
2 Ameraucana
2 Buff Wyandotte
2 White Giants
5 Cuckoo Marans
I'm still amazed that I was able to get the Marans as they said sold out until April, but Ideal e-mailed me to let me know that some were available for my shipment. They are all pullets (hopefully) as that is what I ordered. They didn't have to add any males, which wouldn't have mattered to me.
Now lets cross fingers that they all grow up to be great egg layers.
