Our 75 Cornish Cross meat Chickens arrived a day early, and I’m caught off guard. So, I quickly round up the chiddlers and head to the post office (to pick up the chicks) then it’s time to set up their brooder.

It's not that much at this point, but enough to take the family out to each a couple times a month. YEH! I figured since I'm already linking to the stuff, might as well get a commission.
