So the chicks i ordered back in February are finally on their way. I ordered from Mt Healthy and received a shipping notice this morning. This is my first time having babies shipped so is there anything i need to do. Does the hatchery give the post office all they need to contact me when they arrive or do i need to call them and set it up?

Thanks for the help!

Post office will call you plus you should have tracking package available to you.

Ok so the hatchery includes my phone number in the shipping info?

Get your brooder ready and make sure it's warm.

thankyou, I will. I'm well versed in baby chicks I've just never had them shipped before i usually buy local or hatch my own. But I've really been wanting to get some Speckled Sussex and I couldn't find any in my area so I broke down and ordered some.

So my babies unexpectedly arrived today. I just got the shipping notification this morning, they travelled from Ohio to Oregon in less than 24 hrs. All arrived healthy and happy. Very happy with my experience with Mt Healthy!

So my babies are all doing well but i'm interested in normal hatchery procedure regarding extras....

My order was for 4 pullets and 1 roo and i recieved 1 extra. Until recently i assumed that the extra would be a pullet given my order percentage of 4/1. But i'm now questioning it as i have one that is feathering faster than the known roo (they marked him) but slower than the other 4. Could it be another boy or just a slower developing female?
