My Chicks Arrived

Good morning!

I have a quick post this morning.  I got the call from my little post office here in town a little after 6:00 a.m. asking me to come pick up my peeping box.  Since the post office isn’t open I had to go to the back door and they handed them off to me.

I order my chicks from Mypetchicken.com.  Great place to work with to get the breeds you desire along with having them sexed and vaccinated.  All my chicks are female.

They arrive in this box.

Believe me they are peeping loud!

They ship day old chicks.  It’s a little scary opening the box.  I’m always afraid that there may be a bad surprise.  But both times I received my chicks they are in great shape.  It’s hard to tell, but there are 6 chicks.  I got 4 Marans, 1 Easter Egger and 1 Leghorn.   I purchased the Marans as a collection so I don’t know exactly what kind of Marans they are until they get their adult feathers.

Now don’t laugh at my fancy chick brooder set up, lol.  Yes, they are in my house while they are very little.  You have to control the temperature and check on their water/food constantly.  The light is red so they don’t peck each other.  Not sure the reasoning behind that, but I do what I’m told.  Doesn’t make for great pictures and I don’t want to handle them a great deal today.

Any how, I’m sure I will take more pictures of the chicks as they learn to stamp like the last group, lol.

I’m off to actually create a stamping project if I can pull myself away from the chicks.  They are too stinking cute!

Hugs!
