They are about 2 days old. They just arrived yesterday from Meyer Hatchery. No one else seems to have any hives, but our youngest. They are all over here and huge welted bumps.

Well,it seems that after getting the chicks yesterday, my daughter, 4, who is enthralled by the chicks has a body filled with hives. We have given her Benadryl and they seem a little better this morning, so we will keep trying that and hope that it is something else and not the chicks. Has...
