I couldn’t wait to post on Monday. Six Australorp hens, corralled in a cardboard box, arrived at the post office early dawn. It was joyous to find out no casualties.
Just two days old and their wing feathers are forming. The hardest heart cracks as egg shells when these chicks peep! 💛🐥💛🎶

Very fragile. Especially their legs. They need supportive bedding that won’t cause them to do the splits! 😱 But readily love to be held.
