This shirt, gifted to me by Mona, was perfect to wear today. It's Chick Day. It's a bit later than we usually get chicks but shoot - last summer it seemed to be too much effort to order chicks.
We have 18 new Black Sex links (they'll lay large brown eggs) and 6 Cream legbar (maybe that's the name) - they'll lay blue and green eggs.
I waited in the park and ride for an hour until I got the text that my order was ready! They are cute.
I'm glad we got our act in gear in time to order some chicks. Our older gals are giving up. Most weeks include a hen simply sitting down and giving up. The other hens are merciless when one does that, we try to get them out and let them enjoy their last few days away from the mob. We got less than 2 doz eggs last week. I've quit selling and am hoping for these older gals to keep us in eggs until the young chicks begin laying...about 19 weeks to go.
