Finally they arrived...

At the end of February my special order chicks arrived in the mail. The post lady called me personally to make sure I was home to get these noisemakers off her truck. Oh it was so fun to see them. They all made it.
Can you believe there are SEVEN in there?

I had to pay extra shipping because I didn't order something like 25. There is a little hand warmer in there too. I'm pretty sure that's what I paid an extra 35 completos for!

Here is what is in the box.

Silkies (4) red, partridge, white, blue all straight run (meaning I don't know if I have boys or girls, it will be a fun surprise in the middle of the summer)

Sussex Maran (2) these are the little ladies that lay a dark chocolate brown egg.

Buff Brahma (1) paid extra for this one...although I don't know why now since I didn't with the silkies. I paid extra to make sure that this one was a girl. She was around 10 completos.


They are a joy to have!!! And all the babies love each other. On a sad side note. The babies were about a month old and I stepped on the red silkie and he died. A couple days later the blue silkie was no where to be found. So I have half the silkie population now.
