Chicks

We have known for weeks that we are going to have chicks this year. And today we went and picked them up. Well, I am so stressed/worried about these 11 new additions to our home. I know I should not be so stressed about it. I should be more like George and just read and learn and go with what comes, right? Change drives me nuts. And I usually am fine after I get used to it. But, just before I went to bed I noticed that one of my new chicks has "pasty bum." Well, this morning I had no idea that I needed to watch for that. But thanks to my great sister that reads and learns, I found out that I do. So I cleaned it off like she told me. Then I get on the internet to make sure that I did it right. Now after reading I am so scared that I am going to kill these little creatures instead of feeling like I know how to handle the problems that may come.

Sometimes I drive myself crazy. Right now it sounds like all is well in the brooder . . . maybe I will be able to sleep without hearing 11 little birds chirping all night. (I heard that if they are chirping something is wrong.) I am ok.

Here are my cute little birds.




They are cute. And hopefully they will bring me good eggs someday. I will be fine, just give me some time. I needed to "talk" to someone and 10:30 at night is not a good time for that. So, here I am blogging to you all. Thank you for taking the time to read my silly worried thoughts. I will get some pictures with the kids and the chicks, then I will have a more enjoyable blog about my little birds.

THE END!
