This Friday is the big day - the girls are coming! 20 little chicks are in the mail. Yes, I ordered from a hatchery and now day old chicks will be at my doorstop in just a few days. I can hardly contain myself.
At first, I wasn't sure about how this would work - mailing chickens. But I guess it does, they have a system. And what brought me to this decision? Seeing a very nasty farm locally that was selling chicks and realizing I just wanted to start fresh - from the egg.
So now I wait - and just like an expectant mother, am nesting. I have my little "broader" (chick cage) all set up with feed, waterer, heat lamp, thermometer. I have the coop on order from a nearby wood worker. I have a plan laid out for The Urban Peep farm in the backyard. I have notified my neighbors that the chicks are coming. Now just need the chicks.
So when they arrive, this chick mamma will be posting baby pics. Stay tuned!
