Oh, this is worrying! It's so important to check the calendar and especially stay away from weekends. I buy from Meyer and all their chicks hatch on a Monday and they ship right away so they arrive in a day or two, staying away from weekends. I hope and pray they will be OK! Maybe they will come...
I placed my order as well because I was afraid they would be sold out if I waited any longer. I ordered Olive and Easter Egger chicks and hatching eggs for a project with my students. We can't wait!!
You will love Speckled Sussex! My original flock and they are calm and friendly. I had to get different breeds for my next generation because the SS were sold out!
