I agree chicks that are shipped during cold with out heat packs is not right. First time ordering this year from Hoovers for a hatch date of March 5. I got them 2 days later and all 25 were chirping and happy. Sad id imagine to open your shipper and find dead birds. I guess I lucked out. Looking...
Good to know. Kind of would like one of my buffs or barred rocks to go broody (yes don't NEED more chickens=I LOVE the chick stage lol) but not holding my breath.

Thanks. Please don't tell them but I already have a favorite lol. I'm sure my baby girl Buffy won't realize her place is now shared with a big ol lunker of an Americana (hopefully pullet) chick. Better finish off the new runs/houses for these two new groups. And I'm like 3-4 days away from...
