Arizona Chickens

My DH decided to pick up dinner last night at our local Sonic. What I ordered was right, but they got his 2 Double 1/2 pound Cheeseburger's wrong so had to remake them. Anyway's they remade the whole order, and told us that they couldn't take back their mistake. We ended up with way more then we could eat, so Buster got a double 1/2 pound cheeseburger last night all to himself and thought he was in dog heaven. I out the other 2 extra's in the fridge. Today he will get another one later. The 3rd double cheeseburger got cut up into smaller pieces and fed to the flock outside. I threw away that extra order of onion ring's because I was full, and Buster and none of the flock could have them.

If I was closer,,, I would be on my paws begging for the extra ½ pounder,, and those onion rings

Be careful--he might start wanting takeout every night!

Hubby,,, or Buster

He'll just have to dream about it if he does.

Hiking 2-3 miles at Buckskin Mountain State Park yesterday during a lunch break from architectural survey work. Spent 2 days on field work at 4 different parks (BuckskinMountain, River Island, and Cattail Cove in Parker AZ, then Alamo Lake 41 miles from Hope AZ) .

One park had a stick lending library at the dog park!

Guys I was sent here cause I am in AZ and I am in a big mess.
I pressed the wrong button when doing an online shipment of Polish chicks and other crested chicks. My partner is in awe of my mistake and I have no idea where I can put this many chickens.
In summary I need to distribute about 20 Polish chicks ASAP.
Arrival date is expected to be Feb 9 - 11. They will be newly hatched.
Please help. I feel silly. I am currently open to advice, creative solutions, pro tips, sales to get me out of this mess!

I agree with the other advice - call them and see if you can change your order asap. Also note- when I had an order that had 7 or 8 Polish (of 27 total chickc) - I had 3 or 4 Polish die within 1-2 weeks that I got them. So I would tend to get a few extra than I want to end up with when I get shipped birds especially the fancy ones.

NOTE: Polish are harder to know the sex IMO.

Cowgirl's green egg, and her daughters' eggs - Cowgirl Jr and Boots just started laying - not sure which one laid which. The middle egg is more olive than the pic seems.

Yes, and there's variation of color in all 3 of those egg's. The middle one seems to have a few speckles?

Yes a few speckles that I can see in pic better than in person.

The 4 Bielefelder chick's in the brooder are growing fast, just like weed's. My next batch of them are due to hatch on the 17th, so I'll have to start lockdown on the 15th.

maybe you'll hatch a boy or two, so you can choose the best one for your flock!

2 of the 4 from the last hatch that are in the brooder are boy's.
