ROAD TRIP!!

[Celticdragonfly]

My honeybear and I are on a road trip to go pick up some cute chicks.

We left Fort Worth this morning, and have gone through Texarkana and Little Rock, heading toward Memphis now. We are going to Meyer Hatchery to pick up our chicks Wednesday morning.

It's annoying to have a trip where we can't make tourist stops or eat at restaurants, but life in a pandemic, that's how it is.

It'll be nice to have babies again!

Meyer Hatchery is in Polk, OH. That's a hell of a long drive!

Yep. Yep, it is. Been reading too many news stories about chicks sent in the mail arriving all dead because of how badly the post office has screwed over and how long mail is getting delayed. We had to wait months to get the chick breeds we wanted, and they have absolutely NO other standard size female layer breeds available. So we do not want to risk them dying in delayed mail.

And we have been so cooped up ourselves. It's nice to see scenery.

That’s a very long drive. Makes me feel car sick just reading about it. Good luck!

I would not dare eat inside a restaurant right now. We'll probably see what looks nice near our hotel north of Nashville tonight and get take out to bring back to the room.

A white Marans (my daughter's pick)
Speckled Sussex
Buff Orpington
And a Rhode Island Red to replace a loss.

Tentatively they will be Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia.

I hear you! II travel Nashville a lot and I would suggest The Loveless Cafe! It is famous and a place that you'll kick yourself for not eating at. everyone should eat at in Nashville! It is wonderful!
