Well ... twice a year I am overcome with 'the urge' ... and I get a call saying ... 'they are here and ready' ... and off I go ... to pick up chicks!You'd think at MY age that I'd be through with that ... but no ... twice a year ... the urge overtakes ... and I clean up the 'Chick-Mobile' ... and off I go!
The picture above is taken into the interior of the 'Chick-Mobile'.

I always love it when I get a new batch of chicks. There's something about them that makes you believe in "life goes on" and a rebirth each spring. I try to remind myself of that as I clean out the stinking part of the barn where the chickens hang out! :)
When I sit in the pasture with the sheep, Nosey Josie (one of my champion speckled Sussex) always must sit on my lap and tell me about all the goings on. A very wise bird, she is. I'm glad to have them as part of my life...and I also remind myself of that when cleaning chicken poo out of the sheeps' watertroughs.
Hi Bill,
Ohhh I love those peeps!
I held off buying from a hatchery this year, but bought 3 soon-to-be broodies that I'm hoping will hatch & brood the chicks themselves.
So what breed are they?
