This is a PREORDER for the chicks selected. These eggs will be hatched from my “true blue” pen which give the brightest blues (some with speckles). I use Legbar, Araucana, Ameraucauna and ICB hens under a homozygous ICB rooster to ensure the brightest of a true blue layer. 
All chicks are shipped Priority Mail Express and have a minimum of 5 chicks (can be different breeds) in order to ship. The concern isn't the same if local pickup is your chosen method of delivery.
