Last time i went to rural king, I took my grown son to look at the chicks and kept hinting around about how cute the were and He wasn't falling for my coy tricks, ( and I know I got too many chicks as it is, but you know one more wouldn't hurt) Anyway I walked out without anychicks that day. ( I have eggs in the bator from tuffold hen), anyway I went back to the feed store the other day all alone and vunerable, lol, anyway walked out with 5 new EE chicks, really pretty ones too. I got home, snuck in the door, Whew..... my son was asleep, so I slipped them in with my 2 Speckled sussex chicks and said nothing and he didn't notice till after I went to work because in the morning when I got home he came out of his room and said " Mom how come you didn't tell me the eggs hatched I said did you hold them? He said no but they sure are cute!I said "Travis I did tell you! Well I thought I did, Sorry." And went along with my bussiness I couldn't look him in the eye cause I hate lying, and especially to him, and IM NOT ANY GOOD AT IT, I ALWAYS GIVE MYSELF AWAY! I still got my 16 eggs in the bator just waiting to hatch, and when that happens, hmmm Im probably gonna have to come clean! He'll probably insist I Go to chicks AA group and I can see me now. HELLO MY NAME IS SANDY AND I AM A CHICKOHOLIC, I GOT MY LAST CHICK ON FRIDAY................!
LOL we have to start our own little Chicks AA Thread on here cause I can't find a Chicks AA group meeting posted anywhere! LOL Good to know Im not the only one out there that has this affliction! LOL
I went to pick up some hatching eggs yesterday and although I have 30 chicks in the brooder right now I could not resist the cute little fuzzy butts and brought home 2 more chicks along with the eggs to hatch. I should join Chicks AA as well. My Dad went with me since it was a 45 min. drive to get the eggs so we could take 1 car and do a few errands as well and he was like you just can't resist a chick can you? LOL
just had to sneak in 4 more yesterday in with the other 24 chicks in the brooder LOL I just can help it when I see a chick I just melt and want to take them home, they are so fun to watch its better than TV.
stormylady, you are just like me. Today I had to go to TSC to get feed. You could here them calling me as soon as I walked in the door. I have 74 eggs in the bator that will hatch in the next couple of days. They started today. So I'm thinking I could just put them in with the other chicks and DH would never know the difference. THEY better start hatching by 3pm or I'm in trouble. I need to take pics so maybe someone can tell me what they are. They all have feathers on their legs. ANd they are so little. OH I had to get 6 of them. Thats the least they would let you buy. What can I say.
