These black split to lavender naked neck babies are sooo cute. (The one on the right has a wet beard.)

Y’all the last box of chicks made it safely!!! 6 days in a box!!!!!!!!! 6 days!!!!! All are alive and spunky 🩷. Thank goodness I pack well.

The box was definitely opened from the bottom and retaped- the bedding, food containers, lights and air tag are all gone, and it was replaced with different bedding. Unsure of the story there, but either way Natalie and I are relieved and shocked.

Still not losing hope. Unsure if the last box is in Memphis still because my AirTag hasn’t updated in 24 hours. I have the postal inspector on the case though and hoping they are there so she can help me.

Update on my babies. This is not worth the stress and I will no longer ship chicks through the mail. I may not ship at all honestly.

1) The older boy arrived safely today. 💛
2) One chick box is in Minnesota but an hour from the customer - she is headed there to do her best to get them. I see them at a regular PO now versus the airport so fingers crossed she can go to the back employee entrance.
3) Other chick box was still in Memphis today 😢, but now no tag updates so hoping on a plane to Georgia.

I’ve contacted the postal inspector at the Memphis hub, but no luck yet. They have been in a box for about 96 hours 😞. Hoping they generate enough heat at 3 weeks old.🤞🏻

I hate USPS. I shipped 3 boxes on Tuesday. The boxes are still in TX (not my city)😢😢. The air tag had no updates for 20 hours and now showing in the same spot. 2 boxes have 3 week old chicks 😢😢. Send prayers and well wishes for the babies.

I love seeing them mature. All the pink background photos are from November. The other ones were captured today. Ledge is filling out. I’m really happy I kept him. I love his beard.

I’m sending Nutmeg’s test off on Monday to The Silkie Lab.

I also did the vent test today as recommended by her breeder mom and only 1 finger width so I don’t think she is laying. She turns 2 this summer.

(I’m suddenly getting chocolate chicks out of my black mottled boy pen so trying to determine if my boy is split to chocolate or if I do have a boy named Nutmeg 😂).

Forrest said please send warm vibes our way! Today is a gorgeous sunny 60 degree day. Berween Monday night and Tuesday morning, we will have 2-6” of snow ❄️🥶 and windchills in the teens. This doesn’t sound like much to those living up North, but Austin is not accustomed to snow.
