My "wonderful" (eyes rolling) daughter....

Well, we didn't do it.DH went so far as to fill out all the shipping and payment information, but even he couldn't press that final button. Not now. Maybe in the spring, when we can be more ready for them. The last ones he got, we had no housing for, and they lived in the shed for 5 months. I just got off unemployment,too, so.. as much as we wanted to press the button.. we didn't.


yet....

Thanks.. it wasn't easy .. darn little chickies. But I have 4 that will be hatching in a week, so maybe that will give us enough fuzzybutt to satisfy the urges. Plus, with there being no roosters anymore, the girls are all being friendlier. I let them all out today, and it sure was hard keeping track of 10 of them. I couldnt let 40 chickens run amuck through neighbors yards. So we'd need to do some fencing...
Some day we'll get them. Just not right now.

Nope not right now!! as much as I would like to have a bigger flock.
We are having trouble getting rid of the eggs from 10 chickens let alone another 30. Plus I work messed up hours to try to find time to build another coop and run.

I've done my "fantasy" order on McMurray numbers of times.... I never get as close as figuring out shipping. I've even had to go back and remove chickens from my cart because it was just getting gigantic. But I'd still love to have at least one White Faced Spanish hen.

We simply don't have the room until I build some more breeding pens and then we'll end up having to sell chicks or eggs or start giving stuff away.

The past couple of weeks my 14 year old has been showing me "Blue Andalusians" from Ideal and Welp who sent us catalogs. I wonder how they got our address?

I think I settled him a bit when he realized Jean was sending us those beautiful Blue Ameraucanas from Washington State.
