Yes today is chick day. While I went with every intention of just bringing home the 30 meat kings and 8 brown layers I had ordered, they had extra unclaimed chicks... so we have 60 meat kings and 8 brown layers.
As predicted, they are comfortably ensconced in the kitchen for the next day or two.
Also, Gypsy's fascination with chicks continues. Gypsy is our spaniel mix rescue dog. We have had her for 7 years. The only thing we know about her is that she was found and taken to the S.P.C.A. She had been shot, and she still carries several pellets in her side.
Gypsy is not known for her friendly manner. She has, understandably, trust issues. She is much better than she was after we adopted her, but she is still prone to ... cranky days. But, she has a weakness. She has always been fascinated with chicks. Actually animal babies of all kinds but particularly chicks. She will sit beside the cage for days on end if we let her. She doesn't try to eat them, she doesn't chase them. She just sits and watches over them. By the time they hit a pound or so in size she could care less, but as long as they are babies she is fascinated.

As I said, mysterious, but adorable! Have a great day everybody!
