Jeremy, my husband is a hoof trimmer. He trims cattle's feet. He trims dairy cows mostly, with an occasional beefer in there, usually a show cow or one with a bad wart. It's a tough and dirty job! God Bless him! Anyway, Jeremy makes trips to our local farm store quite frequently, usually a couple times a week to stock up on his trimming supplies. Now, if I remember correctly, I think it was on a Saturday morning, he called me on the way home from someplace, maybe the firehouse, and asked if I wanted to get more chicks....OKAY!! Twist my arm! So, after he showed up, we loaded the little ones in the truck and went to pick out some more chicks. There wasn't much left when we went, so we took the last 10 Rhode Island Reds that were there. I know the owner had quite a few birds in and out of his store last spring and summer, chicken and turkeys, and I think ducks too!
So, we were off on our way back home with a box full of Rhoadie pullets! And just like the rest, we got them all situated in the brooder, and watched them for a while. The kids get so excited over the babies; I guess we all do really. Babies are just so cute!...
