The post office called me this morning to get me the time that my chicks would be available to be picked up! We ordered them from Meyer Hatchery and boy did they get here quick! They were hatched on Monday and I received them on Tuesday! Meyer Hatchery is great about allowing small orders, with the minimum order being three chicks this time of the year!
We had the brooder all ready and waiting for the chicks arrival! We have all of the necessities, including a heat lamp with a red bulb. They require 95 degree temperatures for their frst week.
The chicks took well to eating and drinking, which is a very good sign! No troubles so far. They are very entertaining to watch.
After their long journey, they all took a nap! How cute!
We look foward to watching these little girls grow up, it is hard to believe some day soon they will be laying some yummy brown eggs for us!
Happy Gardening and Farming!

DeleteI am so envious, I want chickens so much... But I can't because of where I live... Ho Hum... Soon the time will come that I can.. Can't wait to see Yours grow... Do you have names yet for them, or is it too soon?
ReplyDeleteHugs and happy growing!
The chicks are doing great! We had to put them in a bigger brooder so they would have a little bit more room to move around! They are already trying their wings out, we had to put a screen on the brooder! Yes we do have them named . . . . Eggnus, Egglentine, Toy, Eggberta, and Shelly! The naming was a family affair, thus the variety of names! I will post more pictures of them soon! Happy gardening! Mindy
