Duck-Duck-Chick?
Well- last Thursday we had a knock at the door and it was the post man from Genevaholding a box of our chicks. We were supposed to have picked them up on Fri so this was a surprise. Thank goodness we were all ready for them.
We set up all the chicks in a big old cardboard box with a rigged up waterer and heat lamp.
All 73 are doin just fine.
One day shipment from Texas made for healthy chicks.
Along with the chicks came 4 turkeys. These are not real fun to raise but we'll only have them
till Nov of course and they are SO good to eat so its worth the fuss.
The stars of the show are the 4 little 'miniture domesticated mallards'. They are SO stinkin cute floppin around in the water. They are not most thoughtful room mates for the turkeys with all the floppin around, pickin and preenin & muck makin however. We only bought these for the cute factor so- so far they are doing their job with zeal!
