Waiting on Ideal...

[Texas Fluffy Feet]

I have chicks from Ideal supposed to ship today, I know they will call me to tell me they shipped, at least I think they will these are my first chickies. Anyone else have some coming? Have you gotten your call yet? I'm trying to keep myself busy while I am waiting, my house is looking REALLY clean and I now have a batch of cookies in the oven. Ring phone, ring!

Mine are to ship today too. 19 total. I am waiting for the call from my local post office. I called the post office and said I would be doing a pick up of the box, so they are supposed to call me back when they get in... I don't know if Ideal themselves calls you. However, the charge went though so I am assuming order was filled.

Me Three! What did y'all order?

I ordered 14 chicks, a mix of Delawares, Faverolles, Ameraucana, and Polish.

Cheers,
Michelle

I thought the hatchery called ya! I could have sworn the girl who took my order told me that. Heck maybe I dreamed it, I have had chicken dreams for a week straight now. I just checked my account and my charge went through too! I am so excited. Thanks for setting me straight on the call Silkie. Now I'm going to call my post office and let them know! My chicks are coming, my chicks are coming, Yeaaa!

Silly!

I meant what kind of chicks????

I had emailed Ideal yesterday, and they said mine are to ship out today and should be here tomorrow or next day.

Cheers,
Michelle

See how excited I am, I misread the post, I thought it said where'd y'all order

I have 5 cochins one each of -

silver laced
golden laced
blue
red
buff

I paid the insurance for no boys so IF I get any extras I hope they are girlies.
The fella at the post office I talked too just laughed at me. He asked how early I wanted "the call" I said as soon as the truck pulls up and he hears a box peeping. Very nice folks and if they call me right away like he said he would, I plan to take in a dozen doughnuts to thank them.
I am so excited, the weather is beautiful and the low tonight is upper 40's. I am only a 2 1/2 hour drive from Ideal so for all I know the little peeps may already be at the airport just that much closer to home.

Mine shipped on the 17 and Came today

! I'm about 7 feet from them and can't stop looking in on them

they didn't call or email me when they shipped.

Mine are also shipping today! I ordered 7 and one duck, this is the second time I've ordered from them and they didn't call last time, so I doubt they will call this time. Last time it took 2 days for them to get to me, I'm already ready for them to be here!

I really think the hatchery should call or email when they ship!

I wish our post office here was a bit nicer. I could hear them rolling their eyes at me. I hope they don't drop kick them to the front desk when they are to be picked up!
