Dear humm-n-cluck ranch:

"BIG thank you to My Pet Chicken, all 8 +1 (bonus?) arrived safe and sound today" quoted humm-n-cluck ranch dated 3/23/10

Did you get your chickens on a Tuesday in CA? So you got them in 24hrs??

Did you pick them up at a distribution center????

Getting mine shipped from MPC on April 12th to CA and I am wondering Tues or Wed arrival???

Cute!



I would definitely agree that the mystery chick is a Buff Orpington.

 

[humm-n-cluck ranch]

Nope I live in ramona (not near a distribution center) and they were at my local post office! woo hoo, I hope you get yours super speedy too!

I am hopeful I have a buff

BEAUTIFUL!!!

What sweet pictures, your son looks so gentile with the chicks, very special.

Gives me lot's of inspiration for my arrival! The chicks look so lovely!

Thank you, thank you for the pictures and update!

PS- I got an inch of snow today...boo

 

[humm-n-cluck ranch]

Thanks

My son is 100% in love with the chicks. He is just 4 years old and even tho we have had the chicks 3 weeks now, every morning I hear him pop out of bed run over to the brooder/aquarium and say "good morning chickies, did you have a good sleep?" It cracks me up! He is pretty used to animals because the animals out number the ppl around here lol

Sorry about the snow

Kinda late for that isnt it? It wet today but not freezing, as a matter of fact I need to have the sheerer come out and strip my llamas soon or they with not have time to wool up before next winter lol Where are you going to keep your new chicks?
