But when we picked them up, the gal at the farm supply store said that every one of the Black Austalop chicks went straight from the box and into the water, on purpose. "Stupid chickens, it's like they're trying to die." :) <br /><br />As we were preparing to leave to go pick them up, Jonathan said, "I can't believe that after waiting all these years we're finally going to get chickens!" He has been waiting a very long time and his enthusiasm and joy is wonderful to behold! :) Thanks again for your encouragement and for sharing your wisdom! <br /><br />Enjoy the pretty fingers and toes!<br /><br />JulieJulie Middendorfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996299413715455303.post-52972805121487584402011-04-15T17:04:30.347-05:002011-04-15T17:04:30.347-05:00It is awful out there, isn't it?

But looking on the bright side, at least our newly seeded back yard is getting some much needed watering! (Seeding was done in bare areas disturbed by the renovation.) When are you going to come sit on our new patio and have a beer with me? I'm smelling ribs . . . .Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817680463922038375noreply@blogger.com
