Mine are all doing great and I have some I need to post pics of because I have ZERO idea what they are, but are super cute!!!
Is it bad I am already considering ordering another surprise??? I'm thinking of asking for a turkey and a goose....didn't get either in my last order (didn't expect a...
Our chicks are doing great! We have had a few loses, mainly bantams I think they got squished under the bigger chicks (which is why I always ask for no bantams, but always get a few) plus I've read some breeds just aren't as hardy as chicks.

You're so lucky!! I don't understand though...how can they send turkeys and geese when their site says they aren't even hatching them until next month, or later?? I wish I had gotten a few turkeys! :)
Got our Suprise today! First count was 53 chicks! No ducks, I asked for none to be sent.
No dead on arrival chicks, but one is fading fast, a little silver bantam... :( a couple look kinda weak (mostly the little crested polish chicks), so we may lose a couple more...I've done all I can to give...
