B and P returned yesterday with our new laptop. All of our files have been transferred from the old laptop and I am back in business! I am still figuring out the new system but it is nice not to have to go to the library every day to check my mail.P was eager to get home to see the new baby chicks. Some years they get delivered on Sunday but this year they came Monday. The post office called this morning at 7:30 to let me know they had the box. I heard them peeping in the background and didn't want them to have to be in the delivery car all morning so I drove to the post office to pick them up before P was awake. I took the peeping box up to her room to wake her. She said, "I have chicks. I am three." Well, I don't know why she thought both of those things were going to happen on the same day. It is still a few days before she is three. But, yes. We have chicks.
There are twenty seven little chicks in that box. There are 9 cuckoo maran, 9 araucana, 8 silver laced wyandotte, and one free mystery chick.
This was almost too much excitement before breakfast.
They are settled in a dog crate in the basement. They will stay there until they are a little older and the nights are warm enough for them to stay in the barn with the big girls. We will take them for outings in the sun every day.They will be getting a lot of attention.
