Monday morning Michael jr got a call from the post office to say that our 50 chicks had arrived! Dat was so gracious to accompany us and we drove into town. What a first time experience it was to be standing in the usually quite post office, a few customers standing in line waiting ti mail their bulky packages, a man behind the counter pasting postage, the gentle hum of the air conditioning and machines hidden from view; and then! peep...peep...peep....peep...the sound of 50 chick draws nearer and louder. LOL Oh what fun! When Michael jr. lifted the box lid I could not help but clap my hands in delight to see the little fluffy balls of yellow, brown and black striped peeping things. The kiddies all sure enjoyed playing with them! Posted by Picasa

How funny,

At the farm I worked at last summer, Brian Hutchins would sometimes be called to get them in the middle of the night.

He loved the reaction he'd get when he'd get to the post office at 2AM, knock on the back door and announce:

I'm here for the "chicks". ;-)

Enjoy.
Michael

By the way, are these for meat or eggs?
