My Chicks Arrived

Good morning!

I have a quick post this morning.  I got the call from my little post office here in town a little after 6:00 a.m. asking me to come pick up my peeping box.  Since the post office isn’t open I had to go to the back door and they handed them off to me.

I order my chicks from Mypetchicken.com.  Great place to work with to get the breeds you desire along with having them sexed and vaccinated.  All my chicks are female.

They arrive in this box.

Believe me they are peeping loud!

They ship day old chicks.  It’s a little scary opening the box.  I’m always afraid that there may be a bad surprise.  But both times I received my chicks they are in great shape.  It’s hard to tell, but there are 6 chicks.  I got 4 Marans, 1 Easter Egger and 1 Leghorn.   I purchased the Marans as a collection so I don’t know exactly what kind of Marans they are until they get their adult feathers.

Now don’t laugh at my fancy chick brooder set up, lol.  Yes, they are in my house while they are very little.  You have to control the temperature and check on their water/food constantly.  The light is red so they don’t peck each other.  Not sure the reasoning behind that, but I do what I’m told.  Doesn’t make for great pictures and I don’t want to handle them a great deal today.

Any how, I’m sure I will take more pictures of the chicks as they learn to stamp like the last group, lol.

I’m off to actually create a stamping project if I can pull myself away from the chicks.  They are too stinking cute!

Hugs!

Michelle

 

Swirling Star – Stampin’ Up! Card

Hey There,

I’m posting a bit late today, my internet went down for some unknown reason.    What are going to do besides pull your hair out?

Anyhow, I created this card using 3 great Stampin’ Up! sets, By the Sea, Gorgeous Grunge and Everything Eleanor.

This card is going out to my most wonderful, Daughter in Law, Jamie because today is her birthday and she is a shining star!

Jamie is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside.   We feel so very fortunate having her in our family.

Jamie and my son, Mitch also just celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary just a day ago.   Congrats, you two!

On another note, I’m waiting, like an expecting mother, for the post office to call me.  My new baby chicks are being shipped to me and should arrive anytime.  I’ll keep you all posted.

Chit Chat and Brock Brock

Hello There,

I keep getting reminded that I haven’t given a chicken update in a while.   My girls are doing great.  They have moved to a 10′ x 10′ coop with a 10′ x 20′ run, equipped with a play area and spa, lol.

I laugh but here they are showing off their tail feathers.  Actually this is what they typically do when you go to take their picture.  Nice right?  Chicken butts are at least cute.

Today while I was hanging out with them, Buffy decided she would like to take a little photo shoot with me.

You see Buffy sneaking up to chase Red out of the scene.

Now which side is my good side, hmmmmm.. . . . Left, right, head tilted to hide my waddle?  If I stand a little sideways I look slimmer. . . .

Buffy is the top chicken around here.  Get out of line and she will peck you on the head.   She is also the one that everyone wants to cuddle up with at night.   That’s how I raised my sons so I guess she is a lot like me, lol.

Now about that spa that I mentioned.  The chicken spa is pictured above in the background.  That black tub is their dirt bath container.  Yep, chickens take dirt baths and it’s a site to see.  I’ll have to catch them at it some day with the camera.  Never mind Luke in the very background digging a hole to China.   Caught ya Luke!  The grass must be greener on the other side of the fence.

As for me today, this is what I have really been up to. . . . . . . Baking!

Good thing sweet breads freeze well.  Because when you have a bunch of ripe bananas and a bowl of shredded zucchini what else are you going to do, but make 3 large loaves of Chocolate Zucchini Bread, 2 Large loaves and 4 small loaves of Banana Zucchini Bread and two large loaves of Pineapple Zucchini bread.

It was a productive morning, this bowl of shredded Zucchini no longer exists and my neighbors don’t have to dodge me today when they see me coming with yet another zucchini to give away.

So how is your day going?  Do you need some zucchini?

Until my next post. . . . . .
Huge Hugs!

On another note, over the weekend I got quite the surprise at our family cookout.  My Brother-n-laws and my nephew decided to poke some fun at my love of raising chickens.  Get a load of these characters.  They came running out together doing a  bit of crowing and arm flapping.  I think they will make a great addition to our coop.  What do you think?

 

It was hard to stop laughing for this photo.
