I enjoyed reading this this morning. I was all concerned about actual dangers at the feed store. Thank you for sharing.

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Hazzards at the feed store
Last week I went over to the local feed store with the Wife to buy some hay. While the lady was supervising loading I went on an explore. Got around to the chickens. Had to stand back as the place was overrun with little people with little boxes. The clerk who, contrary to expectations, did know something about chickens, was busy passing out chicks and trying to answer questions. I got into several conversations about 'egg layers' 'lawn candy' and 'what's a frizzle?' He actually had some. Most people thought it was a breed. Anyway, one thing lead to another and I came home with a box of Silver Sebrights, 6 to be exact. Right now they are house in a parrot cage with a deep bottom. The sit on a table next to my computer where the dog can keep an eye on them. They appear to be close to a week old going by the wing feathers. I don't know why but I have never had to clean butts on chicks as often as I do with these. Including Silkies and OEGs that are about the same size. Anyway it's fun to be back in the game.
