Day of Arrival

On June 11, 2010 our We ordered 25 from Purely Poultry and got 27. Upon opening the box we were happy to see that they were all alive and well. As is to be expected after spending two days in the mail the were all cold, thirsty and hungry, in that order. After they spent a while warming under the heat lamp there next priority was water then food. Although they were all alive one seemed weak and it expectantly died with a few hours, I suppose he was just a runt. It also took a little bit of trial and error to get the heat lamp just right, something that should have been better sorted out before they arrived. We are feeding them 22% "Game Developer", which I mainly chose for the protein level, our local coop's selection is not great.
