The post office called at 1:00 on Wednesday afternoon and I nearly fainted because I knew what would be waiting for me! I had been planning, dreaming, waiting for this day for months. The brooder light was on and warming up my brooder (storage container) to a toasty 95 degrees. We hopped in the truck and were on on way! Opening the door to the post office we were greeted by the sound of chirps. I shakily signed for my peeping package and walked back to the truck. I had to take a peek! They were so cute. When we brought them home I dipped each little beak into the water to "teach" them how to drink. They tilt their little heads back and drink the much needed water. I count my chicks...1,2,3,4,5,6.......7. SEVEN! They sent an extra chick. I try not to dwell long about why the company did this--they just wanted to send me an extra, right!?! All chicks seem happy and healthy. What a blessing!
