I've decided to add my stories about Nugget. Well here's the first Chapter!


Chapter 1: Chick Days

March 11, 2011…….the incubators at Mt. Healthy Hatcheries are filled with dozens of eggs from chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, quail and pheasants….just waiting for the hatch date. At last it finally happens, the eggs start peeping and cracking and in a few days hundreds of chicks have hatched! Orders are placed for chicks from farmers, stores and enthusiast. The chicks will go to Farms for eggs or meat, feed stores for selling, and enthusiast for backyards and shows. The rough days of shipping are tough on these chicks. But they finally arrive at the post office were farmers, employees, and families will come to pick up their chicks. The buyers settle their chicks in and begin planning for when they are older, prices for them, and just which ones to train.
March 14, 2011…. About a hundred or more chicks are settled in big tubs with food and water at our local Southern States. They have figured the prices and are now selling the chicks. I walk in to take a look with my family and it was so tempting to buy. My mother gave in and we got six chicks free because we bought a bag of feed. We settled our chicks into their new home. We had two of each breed and they were all pullets, Golden laced Wyandotte, buff orpingtons, and my favorite, Black australorps. They were named Hokie, Morgan, Tinker Belle, Awesome , Alice, and Nugget. I fell in love with Nugget as soon as I saw her. She was the cutest thing ever!
I played with Nugget everyday and she soon became calm and loving…….and thinking I was her ‘mom’! Chick days were pleasant and sweet. The chicks were so sleepy the first days of life. They would stand under the heat lamp and slowly fall down head first into a sweet little nap.
I had become very attached to all the chicks. Nugget being my favorite of course. I will never forget the first few chick days.
