How bad is this?

Please enlighten a newbie... Why would one get excited about packing peanuts?

Well, when you order a small amount of chicks or ducks from some of the hatcheries, they send unwanted, usually, roo's, along with the order, to help with warmth. Those chicks are referred to as "packing peanuts" and some consider them a bonus. So when I saw the ad for packing peanuts, I immediately assumed, as a BYC'er, that they were extra chicks!
The ad was for actual packing peanuts, the styrofoam kind.

Too funny! I now watch the curb all the time to see if anyone is throwing out fencing, chicken wire or anything that could be used for chickens!

Oh, gotcha... I've not ordered Chicks....just eggs. Makes sense, though I imagined the styrafoam ones. thank you.LOL

....eat, sleep and breathe chicken...

That's a good one!

OH! OK.

I was just thinking, when the packing peanut company ships packing peanuts, what to they pack them in?
