Long story short.......

The chicken order I canceled in January arrived this morning. Post office said, no, I can't send it back.

I had the brooder equipment (thanks to my parents), but nothing else.

Had to make a side trip to Tractor Supply on the way to the post office for wood shavings and starter mash.

I scrambled to get them situated before I had to go to work. Talk about an adrenaline rush!!

Here is another picture of them in the brooder just before I went to work.

Jeez..... if this isn't the universe deciding what is best for me, I don't know what is.

No clue what to do now. I imagine I'll be using the vacation days coming up (Friday - Tuesday) to get going building a coop. It will be a few weeks before they have to go outside, so that's a blessing.

p.s - they are cute and warm. I'm actually tickled (this emotion developed AFTER I had my nervous breakdown)
