…you pick up your dry cleaning and baby chicks on the same trip into town!
The post office called and said the chickens we ordered arrived. We went in with a friend so shipping was free and we are stocking up on fresh white meat (we also are planning on slaughtering a cow later this week…more on that later)
Chickens have a lot of needs when they first arrive! We got a refrigerator box, heat lamp, water at the right temperature, and food. Some food needed to be placed on paper so they could figure out it's food (chickens are not known for being extra intelligent). We had to teach them how to get water too.
Wish us luck as we continue on the path of being Self/Christ-reliant and learning the ways of homesteading.
Here's to 'Using it up, wearing it out, making it do, or doing without'!

| Aww, come on guys. I promise I won't eat one I just want a little taste! |
