Well Munchkin 2 needed new boots and Munchkin 1 is growing like a weed so when I found out Tractor Supply got a new shipment of their kids Tractor Boots in we had to go tonight and pick up a couple of pairs. At 9.99 on clearance (16.99 regular) it was a great deal. Munchkin 1, LOVES the fact that he now has a pair of boots just like his 5 yr old friend. I'm hoping it will help for awhile at dinner to convince him to eat more- so he can grow into them!
Neighbors white chickens invaded yard again- finally found the new hole in the fence they are coming through. I want to keep them out as I do not know where they came from and don't want to mix flocks. Luckily they always know they are in trouble and run as soon as they see me!

Ordered chicks
So I ordered 38 chicks today. No they are not all for me, they are split between 6 of us. As the minimum order is 25 we pooled together again this year. I'm ordering a Cukoo Maran, Salmon Favarolles, Egyptian Fayamis girls, a male Aracanua Americana and 2 Black Giant Jersey chickens. We wanted a nicer rooster as ours is being a brat to the boys. So this one is going to be "boy-handled" from the time we get it. They are coming from McMurray McMurray Hatchery- which I LOVE! They have great costumer service and great birds. Our family has used them for years. I'm looking forward to the dark eggs of the Cukoo Maran- supposed to be the darkest egg. The Salmon Faverolles have a tinted egg- but no color specified, so we can't wait to see what color it will be.
