The feed store's missing box of chicks arrived at 11am this morning... and I now have 6 baby buff silkies!!!!!

I asked if any of the chicks were DOA and the guy kinda just did not answer me, but looking at the 60ish chicks they got some looked a bit off with only 6 looking really poorly but not at death's door, so I assume the box arrived with most if not all alive. The 6 I took home are a wee bit off but that is to be expected after not having food or water for 24 hours and spending a cold night alone somewhere in a freaken box, they are eating and drinking though so should be fine.


SO I have good news there... I have kinda bad news though in that my 25 silkie chicks I hatched are sneezing, I have a vet appointment later today to nip whatever this is in the bud before they act sickly (atm they act fine) I am hoping the 10 chicks hatched by the incubator service guy did not friggen catch something from his birds >:/ the incubator was in a shed and when I dropped the eggs off his multitude of birds seemed fine but on pickup the cage of chickens right next to the shed were sick, and as paranoid as I am I did not consider them getting an airborne disease in the incubator until today! And so many diseases are either deadly or leaves them contagious for life! UGH.

so boooooo on that but I won't flip out till the vet tells me I have a real problem. I do have the 6 new babies separated in the far end of the house though juuuuuuuuuust in case.
