Even a novice like me knows that you did everything you could to pull little Miriam through. It just wasn't meant to be for her to stick around with us. My heart goes out to you.
Congratulations on your successes with the little ones. I have seen firsthand the love, compassion and devotion you show these little guys. It's because of you that I am even interested in having my own one day. Keep doing what you're doing. You are an inspiration to so many, none more than me.

Very nice to hear from a couple of Oregonians! I am not bringing any chicks with me. The plan is to eventually (later in 2010) acquire a few just to get started. Where I live now, there is no way to keep them. But in time I will have mine!
Thanks for the kindness, Ms.FuzzyButts! (great nickname LOL) I am finding this to be a nice place to be, even for someone who has only spent about 4 hours in my life around chickens! I'm looking forward to lots of knowledge, and lots of fun, too!
Hey Danielle82! Thank you...the plan is to be in the new place in Portland by March 27. Maybe a day or two sooner, but that's my plan! Can you see I'm excited?
