That's when I turned green myself and passed out. I sure don't know who poor Dexter is but now I am starting to understand why you don't have a man there helping you out! I hope your next shipment of chicks arrive healthy and peeping loudly! And.. tell Dexter I feel for him. Crap, I think I'm going to pass out again.Spiderjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842253679813817504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-91596969507407113692015-05-01T14:48:18.501-04:002015-05-01T14:48:18.501-04:00Sorry about your chicks.

I don't think we've ever had such a loss as yours though. Good that the hatchery is making good on your order . . . but still.<br /><br />Your shearer guy sounds like a gem. He did as good a job on Linden as a vet would have done. Hoping this treatment does the trick and Linden's foot problems are OVER! I know, you wish that and Linden no doubt does, too.<br /><br />As far as the green Cheerios, I'm not even gonna go there. :o/Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-48577186655296870052015-05-01T12:20:12.222-04:002015-05-01T12:20:12.222-04:00Such a shame with the chicks.

I hope the new shipment won't have the same issues with the shipper.<br />I thought about you when I walked into Atwoods Ranch store on Thursday to pickup a few things. They were unloading boxes of chicks and placing them in the store for sale. Those babies were so loud, you couldn't hear anything else but chicks chirping. Again, I was so tempted on purchasing a few..........I know hubby would have wanted to strangle me if I did. He wants chickens but wants to wait until we move further out of town.<br /><br />It's real good to have a good quality shearer on hand, someone you can trust who provides the best service possible to your animals.<br /><br />Cheerios!!!! OMG green ones............are you sure they're not FRUIT LOOPS??Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.com
