New Broodmeister

Well, I've been promising/threatening my wife that I was going to be getting chickens for the last 5 years. We live on an old farmstead in Indiana, and she hasn't been too keen on getting chickens. Last week, I told her that TSC had some chicks for half off, and she told me to "go ahead and get them". Well, they were sold out by the time I finally decided I would (next morning). This Saturday, I showed up and bought 6 Black Jersey Giants and 4 Tetra Tints that were all getting pretty far along. When I showed up with 10 chicks, she first threw a fit, and then said, "is that all you brought home?"

Well, I happened to pick up some red pulllets, some Ameracaunas, and two buff orpingtons to round out the flock to an even twenty-two, just to satisfy my wife. She had to pick up and handle all the smaller chicks . . . hillarious!

I'm working on doing this for the fist time, and am not completely sure where the adventure will take me. I guess I'm here to find out. Hoping for some nice, big blue and cream and brown eggs soon.

All the best,

Homer
