Saturday I Finally Become a Chicken Mama

[Geocacherlost]

…and I am freaking out!

I decided to not start out with chicks and found three 14 week old Black Orpingtons. We pick them up Saturday morning. I am more nervous about messing up somehow and hurting them than I was taking my twins home from the hospital!

I keep second guessing everything I am doing to get ready.

14 week chickens are pretty sturdy, no need to worry too much so long as they have food, water and shelter

I was scared, too, when I first got chicks, but you'll be an expert in no time. Enjoy them, finding out about their personalities and watching chicken TV! You'll be a fantastic chicken mom!
