They're here!! My chicks are here!
A short drive into the village. A knock at the back door of the small, one window post office. A smiling face appears as the door opens, and a good morning greeting from the post mistress. A large, peeping box changes hands. A short drive home. Some photographs to document the occasion.
Fifty little white broilers, some golden buff orps, some white Delawares (new for me this year), some aracauna/ameracauna ("easter eggers"), and one 'free rare chick'.
I love McMurray Hatchery's surprise free rare chick, it's like the prize at the bottom of the Cracker Jack box. That's him (I assume it's a cockerel) in the picture above, the black one with the yellow pompom on his head. I'm pretty sure he's a White Crested Black Polish.
They're here! It's like having Christmas in July :0)
