Nothin' like some chickies to make a real farm!

After a bunch of people talking up chickens I finally got up the gumption to try them out. We got about 12 different varieties. They came through the USPS via airmail from Texas- Ideal Poultry if you want some. . .They are all still alive. The lady at the post office called at 6:30Am and woke my up. I didn't know it was the post office so I went back to sleep. They called again 20 mins later but I had put the phone in the kitchen (let me sleep!!). When they called again at 9 AM, I think they were a bit sick of them (Come get them, they are noisy- lol) So we brought them home, went to swimming lessons (Paul got them a drink while we were gone) and then set up their temporary home in a swimming pool. They drank a bunch and started eating. They chirped more at first but are quieting down. When they sleep, they just flop down on the ground. They are cute little buggers- I am thinking its all down hill from here though.
