So I got a phone call from the post office distribution center on Sunday morning at 9am. "We have a box of baby chicks for you?" Holy crap, earlier than expected! So I run around like a madwoman trying to get stuff ready... Drive 40 minutes to the distribution center, and am now the proud momma of 28 new little baby fuzzy butts. The guys at the distribution center were fascinated and full of questions. I answered lots of silly questions...and drove a box full of screaming peeps home. They have settled in (kind of), and are now occupying a brooder box in the utility room. At a week old, they are already getting their wing feathers and running and trying out their wing feathers. They still run screaming from me when I attempt any interaction. However, this will disappear when they realize that I am the bringer of all things yummy. They are all supposed to be girls, we'll see as time progresses. I'll keep this blog updated as they grow. Bring on spring, I would like to get these babies outside where they belong!
