The Babies are Here!

The chickies are here! Yesterday I felt like an expectant mother. Calling the post office as often as I dared, hoping they wouldn't think I was obsessive. I worried...how are they going to make that long trip in the mail? (Byron told the girls, "They put a stamp on each chickies head and ship them out!") Then I reminded myself that chicks have been shipped in the mail for years. My Grandmother got her chicks through the mail. So, I consoled myself. Today Byron called the PO at 5:00 am, and the PO Lady said, "I think that's what I'm hearing!" Our chicks arrived safe and sound. Their first day here we are having awful winds and driving rain. We'll see how Byron's coop stands the test! :D

I'm not sure about the one in the last pictrue. He looks a little mad!
By the way I have some new babies on the way. I never thought I would say this but I really only wanted six and now we have 14, and more on the way.

I know you did this so you can get back to the basics, but I don't think you'll ever be able to eat one of those cute little guys! :-(

Tiffany, I think some people think that about children, Can I give him/her back when they turn into teenagers?

Miss Riya, See what Tiffany said, they turn into big ugly chickens.
