It's Been a Busy Weekend and Then Some...

Gun show this weekend. Slower than hoped.  Ate out a bunch, but didn't go off my diet. Just had more quantity than usual--and more fruit.

My wife went to the post office today and picked up 25 chicks...

...then had them waiting for me on my bed when I got home from work...

...in a box!  ;)

25 chicks, 15 will be kept--may eat or sell the other 10.  In 6 months they'll be producing an average of 10-12 eggs per day. They'll be free-range and the eggs will be high Omega-3.  :)

Here's a little movie I made of them:

I had just dropped in some worms that the kids dug out of the back-yard.  Just prior to this, they had been quiet and docile, but with the influx of protein, they went nuts! :)
