chicks

Today starts the week that Hudson's Hardware is selling Silver Wyandottes and Tetra Tints. We've had the tetras before, and they're fine, but what I'd really like to have is another wyandotte. (We lost the ones we had last year). I'm trying to decide a) do I really want to do this again, and b) how will Buster react to biddies in the brooder box (which is in the garage).  After his "playing" with the little rooster this past week, I really don't want to come home or go outside and find the brooder box tumped over (which would be a huge feat) and a small chirping coming from inside his mouth. We also have goose eggs potentially hatching in 2 weeks, and I do NOT want to have biddies and goslings in the brooder box at the same time. We did that last year, and one of the tiniest biddies flew over the divider in the box and the geese squashed it.  It was sad and horrific. Of course anything I get now will be 2 weeks old by then, so they'll be larger (almost as a big as a newborn gosling).

So who knows what today will bring. (or if you will or won't see photos here tomorrow) And with that, I'm off to get some things done around the house.
