had to test my resistance -- LOL -- walked into Del's today to see if all the fluffy butts had found new homes (200 RIRs, 200 CornishX, 50 Black sexlinks
well, all the sexlinks were gone (they didn't appear to be in good health a couple of days ago anyway0
but from a third to a half of the other two breeds (RIR are pullets only, Cornish X are straight run) are still there ! and actually looking pretty good
had to give myself a good talking to, not to pick out a couple of RIRs
now I know I want EEs ... and I'm not set up for chicks yet
their "ameraucanas" come in, in two days ... betcha they are really EEs ... hatchery in Walla Walla ... and I haven't yet found a local friend who will share the chicks with me .. I buy them, they house them ...
oh well
starting March 6 they have "chick days" -- 6 assorted chicks for $10 plus a cutesy little box to take them home in ... and 15% off feed prices
... but I don't want six chicks, I'm thinking three or four instead
