    Sad about my babies =[

    I went and checked out the local feed stores, and saw a pretty good assortment of chicks. I may pick up a replacement NH Red, a Barred Rock, and I'm sure about a dozen others (I cannot resist). Talked to MM about shipping another order, and we decided to ship it to a different post office...
