I have a EE pullet that looks JUST like your Genesis!
Awww so awesome! There is a funny story behind Genesis's arrival. My son and his father went to go get this batch (all my chicks were my mother's day gift, had to wait for these little ones to arrive). They came back with 4 tiny little peeps in a box. 4 little brown ones! He says "sorry, all I could get was 4 chicks, I got the last 4 they had". I am working on putting them into the brooder and my son's father says "I left my wallet in the van, can you go get it please" so I go outside to the van (thinking to myself, now why couldn't he go get it, I was busy, whatever, just go get it). I am searching everywhere he would have put it, not finding his wallet. I am thinking $hit, either he has it or left it at the store. So I'm sitting in the driver's seat trying to think, and all of a sudden I hear "chirp chirp" and I'm like what the heck, that was REALLY close, doubt that was outside. Again "chirp chirp". Ok, something isn't right, where is this chirp coming from? I look down on the floorboard and there is a box that I had overlooked (I didn't look there for the wallet because it shouldn't have been there, he has specific spots he puts it, plus my son rode in the front on the way back, my son has autism and HATES things touching him). I peek into the box and there is ONE little yellow chick!
He was playing a prank on me, I have this thing where I can't STAND odd numbers. It's totally an OCD thing. I had 7 chicks already (2 black, 2 buff, 2 golden, 1 white, had 2 white but sweetie passed at 3wks), and the 4 he carried in would have made 11. So, he knew this would "upset the balance". I tried to play it kewl, but internally my OCD was kicking in and I was like, I can't have 11 chicks, I can't have 11 chicks, not right, have to fix this. So, it was just awesome when I found the 12th chick, I breathed a sigh of relief. Not only that, but I only had ONE white chicken, and it had been driving me nuts for weeks. I told him I needed another white chicken, so getting this little yellow peep who has turned into a beautiful white chick was important too. Now I need to get one more that matches my little black and brown ones and everything will be good
