Although there have been many hard things in our lives lately... today is a day to celebrate life! We our officially parents of 26 little baby chicks. We received the phone call early this morning that our chicks had made it safe from St. Louis, MO and were waiting for us at the post office.
With such excitement we headed over there as soon as we could. Walking in the doors we stood quietly in line... when the post office was quiet we could hear little peeps coming from the back. Jeff and I continued to look at each other smiling bigger and bigger as the time passed.
Finally we received our peeping box and headed home with 26 little treasures inside!
Pulling each one out of the box... we counted to make sure that we received all of them... and YES, there were 26 in the box!!
6 Mottled Houdans, 7 Americanas, 5 Silver Gray Dorkings, 5 Blue Laced Wyandottes, and 3 Buff Orpingtons...
as you can tell we were both SOOOO excited!
As we pulled them out the chicks got so excited. Excited to eat, drink and move around!! Here is a little video of our new addition to the family.
Now we just get to sit back and watch them grow. They are keeping us entertained already with their cute personalities. We'll keep you updated as Woodford Family Farm continues to grow...
We just got chickens, too. I think you inspired Dwight again. Buff Orpingtons are my favorites. We have Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, and some fluffy other ones, too. We'll all be in the eggs soon (well ... in like 5 more months). :-)
ReplyDeleteHow darling! One of them is a 4-wheeler, hopping all over the others! Thanks for sharing; the peeping is so darling. :)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are hysterical how you get so excited over chickens! Super cute though... but I can't wait until you have REAL kids! ;-) Miss you!
