Well Bummer! The PO has lost my chicks! They were shipped out of OH late Tuesday night. Arrived at the Atlanta PO at 1am today and shipped out to Ellijay at 6am! Nobody knows where they are! Ellijay PO said they should have been there by now. Said they are not scheduled to receive any more shipments from ATL PO today. They have no other info on where the chicks are! If these chicks were hatched on Monday and have been in 'process' since then, they are going on 4 days now! Hopefully they were hatched on Tuesday! Poor babies. I hope they are still alive!

sent you a PM

I think I'd be having a heart attack right about now. I hope the PO sorts it out and your babies arrive safe and sound!

So, am I the only airhead for miles and miles who had no idea there was a HUGE poultry show going on just 6 miles from my house this weekend? My neighbor texted me and asked if I was going and I had no idea what she was referring to.

Probably a good thing I didn't. I'd have bought tickets and then likely would've brought home more chickens that we're not ready for yet.

See! I am not the only one who misses things being talked about repeatedly for weeks and weeks with links added!

Tickets? What tickets?

No tickets for the show. You just go.

The PO finally found the chicks over in Gainsville. They sent one of their employees all the way over there just to pick them up for me! They are all ok....thirsty and hunger, but all look good. I gave them some Sav-a-chick Electrolytes. They are so cute! Papa Chaz drove 2 hours to meet me in Ellijay to get his 5 Welsummers. Got lots of different breeds for different people! One guy asked me to pick out any 7 chicks for him! Fun to do, I chose 7 different breeds to have lots of different colored eggs. He didn't really want ordinary breeds, either, so I got him a Delaware (brown eggs), a Speckled vssex (pinkish eggs), a White crested blue Polish (white eggs), two easter eggers (for blue/green eggs), a Salmon Faverolle (just because they are so stinking cute!), and a SWL (another brown egg). I meant to get him a Welsummer for terra cotta colored eggs, but didn't order enough.

Box full of chicks!




Look at the cheeks on this EE!

Oh I am SO glad!! I've thought of those poor babies ever since reading your post. Shipping chicks is so scary to me. They are SO much tougher than we think though.

I been too busy laying around bitching about my elbows for weeks & weeks. I suppose that's why I missed it. And being too ADHD to catch up on posts. LOL Y'all are some busy, chatty folks! I don't read as fast as I talk.

No tickets for the show. You just go.

that explains why I couldn't find any info for that! Duh.

I won't be going anywhere this weekend according to my DH. He called to tell me I need to pick him up in Atl after his shift ends. Apparently, our crappy Hyundai won't start sunddenly so he's stranded in the city. He'll be taking the truck. Saves me from spending money on chickens that I have no place for. So, that works out well.
