I was just thinking that same thing Vickie. I think the wellie chicks aren't due until tomorrow. We are picking ours up in Capac I think. Candled our eggs last friday night and only found 1 clear one out of 18. Not to bad. Gonna have wellies coming out of our ears.

Yeah Wellies!! That's a good thing!!

Hey guys, I just got back from Opa's. All the chicks look great, and seem healthy. The welsummer pullets come tomorrow. On the box it says there will be 3 extra pullets. They added an extra welsummer cockrel also. Opa took some pics, and I'll get some posted also.

Can't wait to see you guys!

Seller Beware.!!!

Ive had an ad on Craigslist for over a week now and have sold lots of pullets at point of lay and Isa chicks. Well night before last I spent the night at a friends house only to come home yesterday morning to truck tire tracks in my drive/yard almost to my back gate that leads to my Isa chicken coop.

My Isa hens are like dogs, I pull in they come running, but not a bird in sight. You guessed it, while I was gone and all my dogs were locked up in the house and in my shop, someone came here and stole all my hens but 3, along with my rooster. Thank gosh they didnt find my show bird barn on the other side of the property as Im sure they would all be gone as well.

So from now on, I refuse to have anyone come here for birds again. I will meet them at the highway or in town. It sickens me deeply and I sure hope my girls are not going to become someones supper.

BE VERY CAREFUL with having strangers coming to your home.

(havent been on in a while so reading back all the posts)

Cant wait to meet you all on Thursday.

Opa, just filled me in on that earlier. That is awful! Doug doesn't want me having anyone from craiglist coming to the house, since he is gone a lot. That was one of the reasons why he said to be careful. I just can't believe someone would do that.

How horrible. I know people stole chickens during the Civil War and World War II in Europe, but I didn't think that things had gotten that bad.

At least you still have part of your flock left.

Here's the first 26 of our order. The welsummer pullets come tomorrow.

I am truly sorry to hear about your birds. It's bad enough having to deal with raccoons and the like. It's pathetic to have to worry about people too.

Hands of Whatshisface! It's mine!

Ooopsy, so sorry to hear about your birds! That really suks. Looking forward to seeing all on Thursday. Till then, be safe and enjoy the awesome weather.
