I can already tell that the chicks sleeping is going to freak me out! I'm worried about one dying.

I received mine today, 8 chicks from MPC, via Express and the USPS called me to have me pick them up - they didn't want to leave them on my stoop in the sun all day. Which is what I expected. I'm surprised yours said they "had to" deliver them because they were Express. Weird! I got 5 EEs and 3 Welsummers including 1 roo.

Absolutely adorable! So glad you finally got them!!

Does anyone know, are those brown ones in the middle my easter eggers, and the black ones the Dominique?

Yes...your reddish ones are your EEs.

They are all very cute!!

That's great to hear they all made it ok. I got 18 chicks from Meyers on July 7th. Lost one to piling after about a week... I was heart broken. Had 4 with severe pasty butt but we handled that. Make sure you give vitamins in the water ASAP. I also had one with crooked toes...Fixed that with a form and tape. She's not 100% but about 90% right now. I don't want to scare you just trying to help you prevent any problems....Congrats on the new chicks.

No, I appreciate your help. So far, no evidence of any pasty butt at ALL. I keep checking though. All the chicks are active and MAN, are they eating!
