So I went to Rural King this morning to pick up some chicken feed and i had no idea they had the chicks out yet! O-M-G there were some CUTIES!!!! There was a Black Australorp that was so fluffy, all you could see was just a little beak! I almost broke down and bought up some Bantams and more BA chicks but I remembered my "Chicken Anonymous" meetings and I didn't Oh so cute!!
We went yesterday all they had were RIR chicks. They were spose to get more yesterday but they never had them delivered cause they didnt get on the truck and they all died...
Seriously, this is ridiculous! I picked up 5 last Tuesday at my local feed store chain and received an order of 6 last Wednesday from the post office. I have an assortment of 11 beautiful, healthy chicks in my brooder and have spent countless hours admiring their antics. Yet, still I am wondering if my feed store will get in new chicks next Tuesday. Will they have different varieties? What if there are some left from this week that no one took home? (How sad is worrying about homeless chicks?) I have all standards, do I want to try raising a banty? Is it ever enough? Where are these chicken anonymous meetings?
