Ideal is in Cameron TX, not that far from you. Overnight should really be overnight.


They would not disagree! SERIOUS lack of carriers. You should hear the list of open carrier positions just in Vermont that DW read off to me the other day. Towns with several open routes. They prioritize packages (because the higher ups say to do so). And if live animals show up, they will get them out though yeah, the actual person doing the delivery is key.

I have come home to find a box on the ground in front of the porch door when the chicks didn't arrive at the airport early enough to get to the P.O.. When that happens they are taken to a different location which makes the deliveries directly. Fortunately it was early June (I never get them any other time of year now) and they weren't out there more than an hour as I came back from shopping about 11:30. Could have been ugly if I were still working and didn't get home until 5 PM. And that assumes no animal came by and ripped open the box of snacks.

Most of the time they arrive at the P.O. and I get called since I let them know a couple of days beforehand. I'm already dressed to go pick them up when I get the call unless I've checked tracking and see they were already dropped at the PO, then I'm in my car halfway there when the call comes No need for them to be in the back, then in carrier's vehicle for several hours driving everyone nuts with their constant loud cheeping. They settle right down once they get in their brooder box with Mama Heating Pad Everyone prefers if you pick them up ASAP even if the P.O. service window isn't open yet.

Good morning Bruce, have a great day

Happy shopping DMC. I haven’t been outside to check on the chicks this morning yet, it’s still dark here. I had to put them under the brooder plate last night at dusk, but they stopped peeping and cozied up together.

Good morning Debby. The dogs only know about the babies because they could smell them on my hands. I don’t trust Layla at all, Abby is definitely questionable and Frank used to be somewhat safe with supervision; it has been quite some time since we had chicks in the house so this batch is brooding in the small coop.

We had some issues between the dogs over the bunnies and I don’t want to take any chances in that regard either.

Nope, chicks & dogs are definitely a case of better safe than sorry!

Good morning Bob For some reason I was thinking about your bamboo the other day. Do you still have that tall stuff that gets bent over with snow fall? (Can't imagine why I was thinking about it...who knows where the mind goes)

Yes, it's invasive... cut one down and 10 more pop out of the ground

Would burning it get rid of it?

Would burning it get rid of it?

Probably not

No way...I'm a dedicated jeans girl.

Thank heavens!

Can't blame you. I would worry about baby chicks around mine, and they never bother adult chickens, or babies with broody hens.

Will you be making lemonade with your own lemons Janie?

Whenever I make it,I use store bought lemons and monk fruit sweetner.

Whenever I get chicks from Ideal, I just drive there. It's only an 1 1/2 round trip. They don't sell sexed bantams though.
