Well, thanks to my crazy friend Cricket, I now have 12 new chicks!
I knew Family Farm & Home was going to have chicks today, but I had decided I wanted to get already laying chickens. But, what does Cricket do? She posts a pic of chicks on her facebook page. I told her that was torture because they were so cute. Then what does she do? Takes another one and tags it to me with the caption "Hi". What do I do? I go out to my bf and said it's a good thing I don't know how to get to Mason (not from here anyway...Aric usually does all the driving and I don't pay attention lol). He asked me what did Cricket do now? I told him about her posting pics of chicks, then he told me how to get to Mason. That to me was permission to go get some, so I quickly kissed him, said I'll be back later and I was gone.
My daughter and I went and I first got 6. But when we went to the gas station, i was feeling like it wasn't enough. Low and behold who do I run into at the gas station? Cricket's husband!! He said they were going back, so then I did too. I tried to justify it saying I forgot to pick up some pine shavings, but I picked up 6 more chicks too LOL.
I then wondered what Aric would say. All day he's been working on turning the "garage" into another coop. It's been hot and he keeps plugging away. He says (jokingly...I think) he doesn't like me going anywhere where there's animals because he's afraid I'll come home with more than we need. This is the first time I went without him (although I kinda just left lol), but his reaction was a LOT better than I thought!!
Now to keep them all alive and pray almost all of them are female. If they aren't, I'm blaming at least half of them on Cricket since she did her form of sexing them with the wing feathers. Actually, I blame having them all on CricketYang!! LOL
