While everyone waits for their chicken mugs to arrive I am going with some other chicken paraphernalia.
I think it is a chip and dip plate but I need to think of a different use for it.

The smallest Wyandottes. They are really happy to be so snuggly warm.

Here beginneth the unedited version of our chicken trip:
What I use for bringing chickens home is the cat carrier. Sometimes I borrow a spare one from the island dog groomers [yeah, I know; weird. We don't have essentials but we have a dog groomer ] Sometimes I just take a box.

This time it was a carrier & a box. The man strapped the carrier to the trolly & shot off @ 100 miles an hour to avoid the rain. Somewhere along the way he lost the carrier door, which we didn't discover until we went to put birds in the carrier. Meanwhile I discovered that our Vorwerks were more expensive than anticipated, being older pullets so the man bundled himself back into the car & toddled along to the produce store just down the road to look for a carrier & get out extra money. He was gone so long we began thinking he'd got lost on a straight stretch of road.

Not that the time was wasted. I went through every brooder looking @ all Natasha's chicks ~ which is how I got caught between taking Wyandottes or my lovely Japs. I am very fond of Wyandottes & was in a terrible dither by the time the man finally arrived, having been assured there were no carriers to be had so purchased, what turned out to be a perfect buy, a brooder that held all 4 Vorwerks comfortably for the trip home. The Littles went in the box but I had the brooder to set them up in for the next few weeks.

Natasha, seeing what a dither I was in, asked how many of the Japs I wanted. I said I'd take both & she offered them to us for free!!! Gob~smacked. Couldn't do it to her so I asked her to send her details through & I'd do a direct bank transfer as soon as we got home, which we did, so I actually got more birds than I had the actual money for @ the time. This is probably not a good thing...

I think the man may be partially responsible as he got in Natasha's ear & blathered I was this nutty chicken lady who actually spent time with her tribes talking to them & being talked to & I guess she figured her girls were coming to a good home.

And should I blush for admitting I sent pictures through showing the new girls settling in & the older ones all grown up & running with my big Girls?

Sounds like quite the adventure! I'm glad you brought home some extras & they have definitely landed in an amazing home!

Those splotches look about the same shape as the eyes on a peacock's tail. Gorgeous!

I did not. 2 attempts now. If you find yourself back there again, let me know.

Will do! I'm heading there tonight. Do you just want me to get it for you if they have it?
