Holy Cow, I got so busy and you all got very chatty! So cool. I will try to remember everything.
1st my fuzzy butt update: They are wonderful! And they actually stop peeping at times. Turns out they shipped from Texas of all places when I live only 5 hours (instead of 4 days) away from the McMurray Hatchery in Iowa.
But they are all doing well, eating like little piggies. They ate 100 chicks worth of this blue alien vitamin gel stuff and have been non-stop eating practically ever since.
Yup, My little Grizzly as "he" has been christened, does look like he has a muff and a beard. Another thread in the gender/bread forum really think he's an Araucana EE. I am very happy with that. I wanted to order some, but wasn't able to at the time, as we are building up our laying flock. So I am happy with my surprise one.
Whew...It's amazing. I haven't sat down with my peeps really for more than about a total of 15 minutes. It's been an action packed day. Probably due to the fact that DD was home from school. Oh and the squirrel we rescued and took to the Humane society. That was exciting...
Lessee, Maw, hope you get some peace and quiet from DH (The D not standing for Darling right now, apparently) and thank you again for doing all the shipping and handling stuff. I hope my box has some doodles.
Scoot your hats are as delicious as Amy's...really considering being a hat collector.
Oh please wait for the critter swap for awhile... I wouldn't even be able to think about anything until the end of Jan at the earliest. I am sure whatever timing comes up will be good as long as it is after the holidays. Way after....
My train of thought just left the rails and my multi-tasking skills are worthless right now (way too many distractions) .....
Hope you all have a good night, Everyone feel better and I am off to see if I can actually feel relaxed for more than 3 minutes. OOO, yesterday was a hard day of waiting and today was like the adrenaline rush that would never end.
and
ETA: I have 13 Brown Leghorns, 5 NHR, 5 RIR and 5 Red stars. And Grizzly.
