Baby Chicks
We raise Delaware chickens, a fairly rare breed, and order baby chicks each year to replace our retiring hens (the ones that have gotten too old to lay eggs). This year we had trouble finding them. Our local feed store ordered some for us, but they entered our phone number wrong into their computer and couldn't reach us when the chicks arrived, so they sold them to someone else. We tried our original supplier, but they didn't have any this year. We finally ordered some on the internet, but shipment was delayed for a month.
The new chicks finally arrived yesterday: twenty-five Delaware chickens and twelve Narragansett turkeys (a heritage breed). They came in by mail, hatched Monday and delivered Wednesday. They're all healthy and happy and eating and drinking. What more could we ask for?
