Before you know it, you'll be putting them in diapers and watching CSI re-runs with them.

"Oh, the insanity!"

P.S. then we are going to go to a feed store and buy a few polish pullet chicks
What are "polished" pullet chicks?

 

[gaited horse]

we can't get the ones from the feed store until after the other ones come

I'm also waiting epically. Mine are coming the 22nd. We've going for 3 Polish chicks, along with some other crested pullets and a few non-crested babies, 8 chicks in all. I'm waiting on pins and needles here...

We only order a small number of chicks once a year, so this is my favorite day of the year. And they are coming 8 days before my birthday, too...

I can't wait!

Post pics when you get them! Dig the afro-peeps!

Hoping you are so I don't feel embarrassed.

No chick pics. Polish is a breed.

Me... serious?

I was messing with you. I don't take chickens as serious as most people and I like to poke fun at them. Especially those Polish. I mean, look at it!
It looks like it tangled with a hair dryer!!

It's not intentional...we live in a hundred-year-old house where none of the doors really latch. An addition that is our bedroom (tiny house, mind you) has a half-bath/closet. The 'brooder' for these chicks is the closet portion, with an old window screen for a gate across the doorway, and a succession of old commercial 100% polyester tablecloths for the floor. Every day I take up the old cloth, old poo gets shaken into the compost, cloth goes into the LG front-loader on sterilize setting, and new tablecloth goes down.

...and then I went down with brutal cold. The chicks decided it was time to fly over the screen, as I lay weak and feverish alone in bed. They have mercifully decided to do their nasty business on the wood floor, and I can't get the door to stay closed to keep them out. I couldn't fix the problem while I was sick, so I spent the entire week as a roost for the little boogers!

It was very nice, mind you. They really didn't want to poo on me, and I loved the preening!

I'm up and snifflingly trying to find a solution now...but dragging!

Glad you're feeling better.

Glad you're feeling better, and I hope you and the chickies continue your quality time & bonding experience together! I like being a "roost", too!
