THEY'VE ARRIVED!
We were on baby-watch all week and the box finally arrived -- while I was at work, of course -- and Brandon officially became a chicken dad. He did great, only panicked a little, but was able to follow my instructions that I sent through text while I was at work.
I raced home as soon as I could and was lucky to come home to my favorite sound in the entire world: peepers! Six active, peeping, cheeping, little tiny chickens. And since blue coloring is a recessive trait that only shows up in about 50% of chicks, we got a mixed bag: 2 black, 2 true blue, and 2 splash (a mix of gray and white).
We couldn't be happier -- just look at our glowing smiling faces! (The glow is from the heat lamp.)
