Look what came in the mail a couple of weeks ago (yes a couple of weeks ago...sigh...never enough time in the day to the Blog updated!).
I woke up in the morning to a phone call from the post office-your chicks are here! I got up and drove down and there was a chirping box. These weren't day old chicks so I was pretty worried about their travels. They came from South Dakota to Denver and then on up to Bailey by express post. Even though they were express going between here and there it's a two day trip. And Denver was getting pretty warm (mid-90's).

I was shipped 11 chicks alas 2 didn't survive the journey, one was dead on arrival and another despite my offerings of sugar water and egg died a few hours later. Despite the losses which saddened me, I was quite happy that the others had made their long journey without harm. I'll only be keeping a few of these as I don't need this many chickens, now how to choose amongst them?
