It's Like Black Friday @ Wal-Mart

I am quoting Doug in the above title because yet again, the man has gone cah-razy!  He made a trip to Knisely's today.  Yep, to Knisely's.  Apparently many people made a trip to that farm store today.  Sooo many people that doug texted me saying that it looked like black friday at wal-mart in that place.  He made a similar trip to Knisely's around this same time last year and it resulted in this...

our first chickens...they didn't last long cuz of a neighborhood fox

  Soooooo, the trip this year resulted in this...

We've got 5 brand new baby chicks and they are adorable.  The very first batch of chickens we bought last year had got eaten by a fox so Doug replaced them immediately with 10 new ones.  Well, one of them got drug away by a fox this past summer so we presently have 9 chickens hanging out in our back yard.  Seems like a rough place to live if you're a chicken.  These poor little guys don't know what they are in for! 

The kids are beyond excited!  Chicks have been claimed by children, names have been given, and said children have been pooped on!  Its a good day in the Thomas house.
