They're Here They're Here!

our second batch arrived this morning after a LONG 48 hours in a little box from ohio.
3 silver laced, 2 partridge rock, 3 amerucana, 1 buff brahma, and 1 dark brahma. they threw in a gold laced as the freebie.

unfortunatly upon arrival we had two "casualties"
the little buff brahma isnt doing too hot, her toes are curled and currently se seems unable to stand, im going to give her till the morning and if nothing getting better shes getting her toes braced. her crops also very large, im hoping its not impacted.
over all she seems like shes trying and is doing MUCH better now shes under the heat lamp...but im still worried.

our second was one of the partridge rocks, shes the smaller of the 2 and was DOA...something in me told me not to give up on her though so i put her under the ehat lamp and prepped some sugar, water and polyvisol in an eye dropper.
i managed to get a little in her then set her back under the ehat with the buff brahma, they seemd to snuggle up together and i whent back to bed...

side note: 4:30 am and me...were NOT friends lol.

i woke up at 8:30 and checked the box, buff brahma is getting around ok on her legs but not standing and is still weak...
partridge rock is also still weak, but doing much better.

ive got all my fingers and toes crossed that these 2 little ones pull through.

the buff brahma is ours, and the partirdge rock is supposed to be spoken for. :(
keep them in your thoughts today and send lots of strong "get big and strong" vibes their way? i know there "only chickens" but there innocent and dont deserve to die.

in other news its pretty intense to see the difference in size a week makes! the new ones are fuzzy little peanuts compared to our now almost 10 day olds! and about 1/2 the size...proof that chickens grow like weeds!

ill try and get pictures later of every one...todays going to be a bit of a busy day prepping for carlos and lauras wedding tomorrow, and ive got an apt this morning to boot.
so now, breakfast...
then ot go get dressed and do another chicky check up...
then off to my apt, then nails, then home, chicky check up, lunch/dinner, more chickky check up, then shower and an early night.

got to be onsite by 10:30 tomorrow so me and chris can practice the bit of a song for laura :)
then its party all night.

im wondering if i can figure out a drop off/pick up system so i can have a drink or 2...i wont even drink 1 then drive so itll be a boozeless night if im driving myself lol.
