    Any Thoughts On Gender

    Wow...that makes me sad. I hope not. These came from mypetchicken.com via Meyer Hatchery. I can understand a mistake...but I'm going to be really upset if 4 out of 8 were not sexed correctly. My fingers are crossed!

    My Chickens Finally Have Names! But...Are They All Girls?

    A Big "Hello" from Vacaville, California!

    Yeah...I did jump the gun a bit. I was told it was official and watched the board meeting where it was approved.

    My first Day Old Chicks and They are Not Here!?

    My first Day Old Chicks and They are Not Here!?

    My chicks arrived at 4am this morning. Me being crazy, I went to the post office before they called and banged on the door until I explained I was notified via text with the USPS site and that I had live chicks that needed to be picked up as soon as possible.
