Not age, silly--years of marriage...

Man, I haven't even been alive for half the time some of you have been married!

I had a fright today. I looked out the window and in the front yard I swore I saw my ayam cemani flock out and free ranging with the rest of the birds! I raced to the back of the house and looked out at the cemani coop and...everyone was still in the run. Going back to the other window, I realized what I was seeing was the cull cockerel and two cull pullets my broody orp raised this year. In all the rain they looked like they could have been my hens and Raptor, my breeding rooster. I'm glad that's all it was but yeesh did that scare me.

I tried to post earlier but byc wouldn't let me. So the 6 week old chicks arrived today. I went to the post office to pick them up and the man behind the counter goes to the back and then comes back to the counter and says "I wanted to tell you ahead of time, since I see you have a baby and all, that we don't think the animals made it alive. I just wanted to prepare you so you don't open the box in front of the baby and get to upset. The box has the odor that they get when they don't make it". So I was all freaked out to open the box!...but as soon as he brought it to the counter I could hear one of them. And I told him so. And he said "the others just went to sleep and didn't feel any pain, don't be upset about loosing them". So, again, I'm totally freaked out about opening the box! As soon as I got to the car, I just opened a tiny corner of the box and peeked in and they were all alive and staring at me!! Thank goodness. That man had me super worried!! It was like he was convinced that most were dead. Overall, I guess I'm happy with the purchase. One chick looks like a female and is totally gorgeous and the other 2 look like total culls and boys. I'm hoping I'm wrong and at least one more is female but they have a lot of champagne leakage, anyway. I guess it was worth it for the one (if she's a girl)! Here's a pic...

Yeah Ruby. I'm hoping for pleasant surprises from them, but glad they made it safely!
