I can't believe this is the first chance I've had to post the wonderful news! After fretting about safe delivery of my order of 24 pullets 1 cockerel from Welp (shipped from New Mexico) They were here this morning, my husband was enroute to the post office @ 5:45 am and the PO called @ 5:50 am. He was back in the door with my package at 6:11.
Every single baby was perfect except we got 28 total, not 25. Only one with a green spot on the head (wanted the cockerel marked) so don't know yet what the extras are.

DH had to play broody hen all day as I was at work..he did a great job and everyone is still wonderful. I took pictures when they first went in the brooder, but no time to do anything with them yet. Hope tomorrow is a calmer day at work, so I can post pics. Order a mix of standard size: jersey giant, cochins, silverlaced wyandotte, ameracana, delawares, brahmas, buff orps speck sussex. They are so great!!

They are a week and one day old today! I had one loss yesterday, I'm pretty upset about it...cause I feel like i've done everything possible to keep them healthy. It was one of the silver laced wyandottes. I've been raising chickens for three years and this is my first loss. I've had problems keep thing temprature steady, do you think it could have been that?

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry! I don't any experience raising chicken, I hope it was just a freak accident. I know you must feel so sad.
