robj... My CGG chicks are definitely in the dog kennel, but they're still in the house with their red light all warm and cozy where I can see and hear them.
What gives my mom the fodder for teasing me, and laughing her head off, is that they are in the
Dining Room! You have to understand where she comes from... She's a child of the great depression, 9th child of a dirt poor family, lived in a one bedroom house in the poorest county in E. Washington. They worked like slaves and did everything in their power not to be considered low class. And you didn't bring animals in the house unless you were an Okie, an Arkie, or an Indian! (please don't anyone take offense... that's what it was like for her in the 1920s and 30s). So along comes Carolyn with chickens and a mom that loves to tease, so she keeps saying "Those birds are spoiled rotten." --- "Oh you'll have those chickens in the house pretty soon." --- "Oh, you'll be keeping chicks under the stove pretty soon." Stuff like that just to get a rise outta me. So FIRST I bring chicks into the laundry room, and NOW they've made it past the kitchen and into the Dining Room! EEEE GADS SHE WAS RIGHT!
