Oh my, you do have your hands full of fluff! Bet you are doing a lot of smiling. My hubby has discovered that there may be a down side to subscribing to Backyard Chickens...and it is a big one. Those cute pictures that everyone is posting make me want every single one. I would have no problem with ordering 60 and can see more pens are definitely in order around this place. Please post pics soon so we can all smile with you.

eeek so excited for you! I love getting the call from the post office notifying of the delivery. Opening the box to see if all arrived safely causes apprehension. The last shipment I had a friend open the box. They were prodominently Silkies and I was so nervous they wouldn't do well during the shipping. All made it safely. Hope all of yours are healthy and happy! Looking forward to seeing pics of the little chirps.

I'd love to see pictures of 60 little chicks, that would be cuteness overload.

Have fun!

I honestly have no idea how long I sat out in my barn in the brooding pen with them. They're all Sooo adorable! It was so hard for me to leave them and come inside~ Unfortunately though only two Andalusians came and so we got some extra barred rocks and australorps.. I mean i would mind if we had gotten extra marans but all well I'll post some pics first thing in the morning when i go out to feed everyone~

62 actually! Again. I don't mind the extras I could honestly watch them all day if I had the time!

Sure is a lot of fluff! One of the workers at the post office couldn't get over the chicks~ She asked if she could look at them and she thought it was so cool that they weren't all yellow like you'd normally see.

All of the chicks are in Tip-top shape except for one which has some splayed legs which I made a splint for. She already seems to be standing more. Now all I have to do is pray that all of them are hens! I'll be ok with one or maybe two cockerels..

I am so jealous of your littles. I know what you mean by looking at them all night long. What is it about watching them pounce about getting used to their new environment.....and that peeping sound they make! Too adorable.
Looking forward to watching them mature.

They sound adorable!!!! I wish we could get 62 chicks!!!!! Hopefully, if we can move to a bigger place this spring/summer, we could get thathat many!!!
