UNCLE! That is right, I am waving a white flag of surrender.

I went to work and came home and found this thread blew up.

I have to go to bed sometime. Thanks to Ron I can get some shut eye

GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!

Tonight is Chicks Night Out at my feedstore The Mill! Chicken fun every year. A brief seminar, door prizes, chicks and individual chick orders. I'm going to order 6 pullets of something...don't know what yet, but every one of them will be different. I'm so excited! Wish me luck with the door prizes!!!

I saw the posting on the digital sign out side the local supplier for similar event-- I"m trying to avoid the store . . . .
