Laurie, I don't give anything that can resemble egg eating. If hens start for any reason, what a headache! I am excited for you too! I can't wait to hear all about them and how cute they act!! By your handling, teaching the to eat and drink, your chicks will imprint on you too. There is a 2 week window with chicks to imprint on them. They'll have you and their mother hen.

Thanks Catherine!
I will pick the chicks up in the late morning/early afternoon (as soon as the P.O. calls) and make sure they are all eating and drinking before I choose which to put under the hen(s) after dark. I haven't heard of using shells before, but why not?
I included some gro gel in my order and have fresh chick feed (unmedicated) on hand. I have food/water containers ready to go...just need to find my headlamp. I have a seat in front of the brooding pen, and am halfway through a novel so that's good to go. Actually the weather is lovely this week so the timing is good. :)
Fingers crossed. Can you tell I'm excited? :)
