Suzie, you know my feelings - "Friends are the family we make for ourselves." Glad that your sun is shining.

Wonderful expression you have given of friends!

So, my chicks shipped out of California Tuesday night. I've been watching the tracking bar waiting impatiently for them to arrive. They were suppose to arrive Thursday by 3pm, so, I started really freaking out yesterday. How many days can baby chicks go without food and water?

This morning I am walking out the door to head to work at 7am. The phone rings & it's the post office!e. DD has no school today due to teacher in service. Having one good vehicle, we all pile in and head to the post office. The post office is closed, so we pull around to the back where the mail carriers are busy loading up their vehicles.

2 men walk up to our car & ask if we need help. DH says in his gruff voice "Yeah, I'm here to pick up chicks". The 2 men laugh & then one realizes what type of "chicks" he means & offers to go get them. I about died laughing!!!

The chicks were super weak & could barely stand, but they've all ate and got water and are doing great now.

Pics another day soon! I am so computer challenged. Idk how to post pics I take on my iPad or my daughter's tablet. My cell phone has very little memory......blah, blah, blah.....I've got pics, and will post later.

They came from Papa's Poultry. Shipped out of Redding, California. They did a great job packing them. Heat pads, straw, empty bowls where they had food, very good job packing. I ordered 9 chicks, but they don't currently have 4 Speckled Sussex I ordered, so I got 2 blue copper marans and 4 olive Eggers, and he gave me an extra crested cream Legbar girl! I am super happy with how it all turned out. I was so afraid I was going to open the box & see dead chicks. So thankful

Hey all, been busy here!
Yesterday I got a ton of stuff done here with the birds. Re-banded almost all my babies (zip ties on the legs), moved a batch out of the pen with the light to the non-heated pen, a batch from the brooder to the heated outdoor pen, cleaned the brooder and moved the chicks from the other brooder to the clean brooder. Cleaned poop from the main coop, put out hay, set up two new nest boxes cause my broody is mean as a snake and won't let anyone near her. Re-hung feeders and raised waterers in all the other pens, gave everyone hay for bedding, set up a second nest box for my Marans ladies, just a lot of general clean up. Everyone has nice deep bedding, I gave the big littles some branches for lower roosts, feeders are higher for less waste, the pens all look so nice.

I think going to work is going to be my rest days

.

I was wrong about there being an elliptical at work, there's just two bikes. Not a big fan of bikes, especially when you're not going anywhere. I did go out for a walk on break today though.

All the boys are gone for the night, so Honey and I went out to dinner. Had prawns at McGraths, not exactly low carb but not horrible.

JWB, I hope your chicks do well. I've heard good things about Papa's, but it's been more local. That's a good ways to ship.

Hi everyone!

Got an advert to place here...

Ageing stallion...bit if an old nag to be honest! Needs some work...can do some extraordinary tasks...plumbing, electrical work, construction etc...is however reluctant to clean out the animal pens...not a fussy eater...

I would put him out to grass but he still has some work left in him...this horse (nag) can talk the hind leg off of a donkey....but once he gets the bit between his teeth he goes well!

Good to shoe, box etc...

Any offers?

I did tell him that I was going to place an advert for him if he complained any more about doing my work....

Hope you are all well! Weather here is cold and raining...I am going to light my log fire soon...cannot believe it is supposed to be Spring..

Take care!.
