Hi George, I got the first 25 chicks from the store, then found out about a poultry auction and ended up with the rest of them, some babies and some a bit bigger, And yeah, I just found out the hard way about how unpredictable the little rascals can be. One of the RIR's decided to take a peck at my eye while sitting on my shoulder the other day. Just reached her little head around went in under my glasses and pow!! So... now I only let them perch on my knees. A painful lesson, but I learn real quick. LOL
Still love em all though. Created a riot today in the yard. Went and bought some nightcrawlers and dumped them out for the flock. Found out they really love them. Will try to get some pictures posted soon.

> Hi Anna Marie, yours is an old familiar story of lost souls who wandered into a feed store while chicks were on display. I must say most, not all, have enough self control not the fill up the basket right away. Or did you order them direct from the hatchery? This can be deadly, instant addiction. I know the feeling. Looking through the catalog, two of those, half a dozen of these and of course some from the next page. You really can get carried away.
