My chicks from chickensforbackyards.com have arrived! The box actually read “Randall Burkey”, so that’s the hatchery they are originally from. As promised, the postmaster called me when the came in, and I was down there within 15 minutes. Those poor babies hadn’t eaten or had water since they hatched!
Meet Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche, Rose, Gracie, Giselle (hello Sallys girls)
Lucy and Ethel
They all look pretty healthy and are eating,
drinking and pooping with stellar performance.

So far, so good.
They ate the grow gel (green stuff) and chick crumbles
and drank more water than I thought they could hold
I did check for eggs this morning,
nothing yet.

You are going to enjoy them so much. The are cute and funny. My daughter's 1st grade class hatched a bunch of baby chicks and we raised them until they were grown. We live in the city but our relative took the hen in and she is doing well…her name is Martina. The other chick was a rooster and we kept him for a long time and we gave him to another friend who lived in the country and always wanted a big red rooster!
You are are riot!! What cute babies. I wish we could get some. Hubby says no.
Congratulations mama hen! lol They are adorable aren't they?! Noisy too! I love the names too…did you know that I too have a Lucy and Ethel?? That's too funny! Lucy is one of my R.I. Reds and Ethel is a Barred Rock. My other R.I.Red is Henny Penny.Why did I not come up with a name like Rose?! Well that gives me an idea for my next chicks in the future…name them after my favorite roses! Well have fun and enjoy them because like with all things they grow super fast!!
Aww, so darn cute and just in time for Easter! I think your next batch of girls should be named Meg, Jo, Beth & Amy! LOL!!!
They're so cute. And I'm glad you didn't dye them for Easter!!
Ohhhh they are adorable! Nothing like little peepers for spring!! xo
Oh my how I love the girls' names!! I am looking foward to watching them grow:)
Awww! So cute! I still remember how exciting it was when we "hatched" baby chicks in one of my grade school classes. They're absolutely adorable.
Guess this means more chicken poop, to impress the neighbors! LOL! They sure are cute!
How exciting! They are adorable!

You got your peeps!!! So happy for you!!! I'm sure you will enjoy them as much as I enjoy mine!!! Congratulations!

You don't have any "Peeps" around the house do you? That may just creep them out….
Karen, you crack me up! I have so enjoyed catching up here this morning. Your chicks are adorable (of course).. congrats on your new babies. Aren't they fun? Just wait until they get older and start misbehaving.. just like teenagers, they are. -Tammy
