Ok, so we have chicks on order from Murray McMurray hatchery. They arrive in 90 days.
Got a coupon for 10% off order at
TSC. They also had the best price on a 100 gallon water tank. (Brooder box.) So we go to
TSC and get stuff for the other animals and some shirts on sale and .... oh my! There are some Buff Orpintons on sale for 1.99. Hmmmm - "Oh honey, shouldn't we get a couple "practice" chicks to make sure we have a handle on the chick thing before we get our order from MM?" DH says, "Well, we should get 5."
Ok course, as you all probably already know, the minimum is six. So now we have six new chicks upsetting the dog, tantalizing the cats and enchanting the people.
By the way, Hello out there in Johnstown! We need some "Dr. Green" here too!
Happy Country Hens (Well, hope there's a pullet in the bunch
)
