So my husband and I walked into our favorite local feed store,the owner, an elderly man, says hi and asks if we will need a chick box this week DH and I said no just here for some feed. He then said ok I'll just set this on the counter,meaning the box. DH and I walked to the feed section trying like crazy to avoid the chick bins but the cheep cheep lured us over. We left with 2 bags of feed and 10 chicks. The owner said see aren't ya glad I left the box out for you?

So my flock went from 28 to 38 and this upcoming Saturday DH and I are taking a small road trip 85 mi outside of town to pick up a blue frizzy cockerel who comes with a smooth girlfriend. I keep saying okay honey the flock is complete. I promise the flock will stay at 12 and now it is almost at 40

. I told DH see we go to Rancher's too much,guy probably has my debit card number memorized.

My dad asked Tuesday night, (during the nasty weather that produced a couple of tornadoes in our area) Are those chickens in that pet taxi? I was scared beyond belief so I busted out crying because all I could grab were my chicks from the brooder boxes that I didn't have anything to fit the 18 in the coop in and I was sorry I brought chickens to his house;yes I was a snotty mess. He just laughed told me to calm down that the rest of the flock would be ok,which they were but still I left them behind and I was slightly freaked out.

"OMG my mealworms are here!!!!"

I walked into Gebo's and asked where the chicken crack was located

The lady gave me a strange look I then asked where are the mealworms located? She laughed and said she has never heard them referred to as chicken crack!

Same here, they remind of cats when you shake the bag of food. Oh and if they see the box,they stampede me before I am even able to shake it.
