Well, the chick saga continued. I originally ordered in two polish, two Isa browns and an amber link along with two rouen ducks, two runner ducks and two crested ducks... Well, everything went wrong. I was told they hadn't come in the 17th and they'd be in on the 31st so on the 31st when they didn't come in they told me they had come in on the 17th and obviously they no longer had them because I didn't show up. But they had an order of Rouens, Pekins and Khaki Cambells for sale to the general public so I got two of each of them to give me 6 ducks and at least give me some chance at getting females. So I called another place and they happened to have the birds I wanted and they were 2 weeks old already. PERFECT! I went to get them and the Polish were gone. I said no biggy and that I would just get Ameracauna's instead. So I got four of those just because. So, then I had 9 chicks. Six ducks. 8 hens. Then I get a call saying that they were sorry for the mix up and had ordered me in polish chicks. Okay, so I needed them for my lone polish, Bowie due to her getting picked on. They came in a day early and I couldn't get to them in time so my mom picked them up. I got home last night and noticed there were not two, but FOUR polish chicks. They ordered me in four instead of two but oh well I guess! :lol: This time the chicken math happened without me doing it! Anywho. They are adorable and I have not had day old chicks in YEARS since last year mine were all 1+ weeks old when I got them. They crack me up!

I love chicken math. What color are your Polish? They are such cool chickens and come in all colors.

That is some awesome chicken math! lol Can we see the little ones, please? I'm thinking about ducklings, once the shed project is done, as that is going to be housing for the birds. Ducks are messy, but they are great and ducklings are just :love

I had a white crested from last year and I got two Buff laced and two Silver laced this year :) They are soooo teeny as day old chicks! They are a week old tomorrow and still super tiny!

Here they are! These are last weeks photos but still good! I will try to add some more in today for y'all from this weekend. :) The ducks no longer fit in that little pink dish... in a weeks time that happened. I did't get mine last year until a week old so I was shocked by that lol.
