Last Sunday evening we ordered 15 baby chicks from Cackle hatchery. They took to the air Monday night and the Post Office called this morning to let us know our box of joy had arrived.
5 female Bantam Barred Rock
5 female Bantam Dominique
5 female Standard size Buff Orpington (Mary has wanted some of these for a while)
Cackle hatchery included a free spare of each of the three breeds so we actually received 18 live baby chicks. One of the babies is extremely weak and does not look like she's going to make it but I never give up hope and the other 17 babies look strong and lively.
