I got my call at 6:30 this morning and they are all peeping happily in the brooders now!

Mine finally came! One of my blue polish was dead on arrival, and one of my Sebrights just died

. On top of that I'm treating one for what I think is spraddle leg, and my other Sebright is a little lethargic, I'm treating with polyvisol and sugar water. The other 8 are doing great and I'm happy about that

but very disappointed about 2 dead and 2sick

I'll post some pics when I can!

Oh no! Sorry you had some dead ones and hope the sick ones get better. Mine are doing OK. I would like to see them more active and they don't seem to be eating their food. I even ground it up in the blender to make it into smaller pieces. They are eating egg yolk, but not with a huge amount of energy on that. They are drinking, temp is good....no pasty butt...

I have 25 cornish cross chicks coming from Myer's the first week of May. All of this excitement has got me anxious and now I can't hardly wait. It's my first time raising chickens for meat and I've been getting their living space all ready for them for the last few months. My wife says I'm like an old mother hen. I hope all of your chicks do well and gain their energy back soon.

The two sick ones are doing a little bit better

The spraddle leg one I'm not sure if she actually has it or if it is just weak

but she does seem to have a little more energy and is trying to stand up, maybe she is just really stressed. I'll update soon with pics!

I live in CT as well! Just curious, how many did you order? I ordered six (I am going to add two more though, I don't even have them yet and the chicken math has started!) and I am worried about their long trip. They are not due to arrive until the week of June 20th, however. I am also curious to know how long it will take them to get to me from Ohio.
Good luck everyone! I have my fingers and toes crossed and am sending happy thoughts your way!!!
