SO not fair!

In today's email from Cascade Farm and Supply: Thursday, September 12, 6pm. FAll CHICK SEMINAR AND HALF OFF ALL CHICK SUPPLIES
...how does one resist such insidious temptation? We could buy one of those cute little coop/run things, set it up, and buy baby chicks.
We are both going, "No no no no - we wait until next spring so we have all fall and winter to build a strong, safe, sensible coop and run, then next spring we buy the chicks."
But we went in yesterday to shop for fencing for the yard and OMG they are SO CUTE!
Give us words of strength and encouragement, please!

You aren’t helping.

Sure I am ... those poor little chicks need all the help they can get!

Just think ... the store will close, and all the people will leave, leaving those poor defenseless cute little fuzzy butts all alone ... maybe the water gets turned over ... who us gonna not let them die of thirst? Nobody to hear their frantic cries of death ... or the power/heat goes out ...

Now ... if they are tucked away safely at home in a nice brooder, they will wake the nice people up in the next room to come and save them ...

Hurry! The store is gonna close soon ... don't wait till tomorrow, it maybe too late

BE STRONG! At least, build a better coop than one of those prefab thingies.
I saw the very cute chicks at TSC yesterday, and went home without any of them. It was hard, BUT; There's one bantam chick with her (?) broody mama in the coop, ten Cornishx chicks in the brooder in the garage, and five fertile bantam eggs in a friend's incubator.
How strong was I, really? Not very!

Go in the store, and just "evaluate" if the yellow chicks are cuter than the black ones? How about the little fuzzy chipmunk striped ones?

Then how do they sound ... cheep, cheep ???

Are you thinking of only getting four, or six? Maybe "cheaper by the dozen"???

Ha! Your sunk! No getting out now, ENJOY those little cute fuzzy butts before they grow up!

Post pictures of the ones you get please!

I say get them!

But... yeah for real @aart covered it.

Just know, if you buy one of those cute little coops, you're just going to build another bigger coop in spring anyway. That's what I did, lol. But the prefab makes a great quarantine/intro/hospital coop, so you might as well buy one anyway....oh, wait, I'm supposed to be talking you out of it, oops.
