Spring must be around the corner in Central Texas. As some of you may know, my hubby has a little Feed Store in Pflugerville and from time to time I help out there. This time of year we start selling chicks. We order the chicks from a hatchery in Cameron, TX and they get MAILED to us!
When the chicks arrive at the Pflugerville PO, I get a call early in the morning--'You've got a package. Come pick it up. It's loud!'. As soon as you open the door at the PO you can hear the little chicks chirping away behind the counter. I make a lot of friends at the PO when I get the birds. Most people in line to mail a package are surprised to see a BIG box of birds leave the mail counter.
Here they are, save and sound, back at the feed store. Next stop is a nice warm brooder with their first meal of chick starter and fresh water!
I think I feel like making a chicken quilt now . . .
Awww....so sweet! I bought 5 chicks from a local nursery as in garden shop. They had been sexed, but no guarantees. THREE of the five were roosters! Ack!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat breeds did you order? I still need to get my chicks but just have not had the time to really get to the feed store. I wished I was a little closer to Austin would love to come up and see your store. I am down here in the fort worth area.
