wOOt! Ideal chicks are HERE!

[Ducklove334]

we broke down and ordered one last shipment of chicks for the year, probably for forever.

the last two times we ordered from Ideal the chicks got here the day AFTER shipping, so hopefully they'll be here tomorrow!!!

we ordered 7 assorted D'uccles(hoping for atleast ONE pullet LOL)

4 assorted frizzled cochin bantams

6 assorted standard pullets

AND I think theres gonna be a Cayuga pullet ducklin too!

I let Becca decide whether I got it -_-

WOOT for fuzzy cuteness!

 

[Leah and peeps]

Good Luck trying to sleep tonight. LOL. Luckily i live 2 hrs away from Ideal so i went and picked my last order up on the hatch date. They were home safe and sound by 5 p.m. I know i slept better.

 

[Ducklove334]

well, babies have been here an hour already!

they're all fat, happy little peeping things

when they first getting here

black cochin bantam, SUPPOSED to be frizzled when it grows up

all together

oh and, what the heck are these??
we got two that look like this, I'm assuming they're part of the 6 assorted pullets, but what are they?

they have 4 toes, and clean legs, oh and are standard


we got 7 d'uccles, we got one golden necked, 2 porcelin (sp?),2 millie millie,and I think 2 blue millie millies.

either one or two that look like this

two that look like this

the little red one



it's funny, yet kinda irritating, I'm having a hard time telling the cochins from the D'uccles, then I remember that the cochins are gonna be tiny, cause they're bantam, so I look for the round bodies and heads of cochins.

D'Uccles are also bantams. The D'Uccles are also suppose to have beards so that is another way to know.

 

[Ducklove334]

yup D'uccles be bantams

LOL

I'm some of these here D'uccles are PULLETS, our Self blue D'uccle roo says he's getting right lonely

I am not an experienced "chickener", so take this with a grain of salt, but that mystery pullet looks like my australorp girls when they arrived from Ideal. They are supposed to be very mellow birds and great layers, plus quite heat-hardy.

There's too much white for those to be Australorps.
