The Magnificent Seven....

Ok, so I have been meaning to post pictures of our chicks all week. I finally got around to it. Last Thursday we got 24 (it was supposed to be 26) chicks in the mail. They were so cute. I say were for two reasons; 1:they are fowl and fowl are only cute till they start pooping everywhere! 2: We had 17 fatalities last night. Yes, we woke up to 7 chicks. 5 Black astralorps, 1 Rhode Island Red and the mystery chick they sent (notice I didn't say free chick as they shortchanged me 2 chicks) that I still can't figure out what it is. So, I will order more chicks Monday and we are going to do some serious renovations on the pen. We might be eating some dog here in the future. I won't mention any names but there were white/cream dog hairs on the pen and the chicken wire was torn into a big hole. Well, I'll keep you posted. Below are some of the cutest pictures we took before the great massacre...

Coming Soon....

Our chicks are shipping today, so we will get them tomorrow, Friday, or Saturday! They send you a free exotic breed chick when you place a chick order, so I can't wait to see what they sent us. Maybe it will be one of the chickens that lays colored eggs.....

The Boys

Slaughter, La (Warning:Graphic contents--Readers beware!!)

So, I get this call from Seth while I am in Sam's saying that one of the neighbors calves got trampled and they said we could have it, if we wanted it. I got back home and the following pictures are what I was greeted by. We had eight vehicles parked in the yard, it looked like a block party!! Seth will be talking about this for a while; I am just warning you!! He had so much fun, he said he is going to put a cleaning station in the yard where the deed was done yesterday!
