New chicks are finally here!

Our new chicks finally arrived from Ideal Poultry... 2 Buckeye pullets, 2 Buff Chantecler pullets & a trio of Partridge Chanteclers, plus 10 Red Broilers for our freezer. We will be adding Chanteclers to our heritage breeding program, so I'm really excited to finally get these babies. The broiler chicks are little butterballs & practically jumped out at me when I opened the box. The two Partrige pullets were chilled and huddled with their eyes closed, so I carried them around in my bra for an hour or so & fed them water w/electrolytes from a dropper until they perked up. Now they look a lot more lively and everyone is eating and drinking.  I just  the sound of peeping coming from the library right now!
