Shipment Day for Chicks

Chicks were hatched, sexed and shipped today, so we've made serious preparations for their arrival. A warm cardboard box, light, fresh water, food - all on a bed of sweet, alfalfa hay leaves. Our order of 18 chicks is coming from Missouri for 15 black-copper French Marans. I have one BCM hen that is 9 years old and she's our fav! More pictures soon.
