Oh My God...
I'm so happy - Chicks delivered ahead of time!
Five Make that Six Buff Orpington hens in the making - and a “mystery chick” unsexed!
I can’t wait to see them tomorrow - and lucky I had contingencies in place just in case they arrived early!
Life is good - and the chicks are lively I’ve been told!

~~~~~ meet the chicks ~~~~~
I’ve got them under a “red light” for now, but will probably remove that and put the “brooder” back in their crate (it is heated) once they have had their full of food and water - this is the first time they have had either.
They are 2 days old - only one has been named - the black one - the mystery chick - is named —— “Bloof”…..named by my wife and I had to grant her that since they got delivered so quickly I wasn’t here and she had to pick them up. I want to thank the Ballantyne Post Office staff as well for reaching out to me directly when the chicks arrived there. Pretty amazing how quickly they got delivered from Iowa.
Here they are:
Meet Pumpkin - she is little but feisty!
Oh Gracious - has the brave ai been subsumed I query!
Here - the quote is here:
This “brave ai” must not be smart - either that tis subsumed and scared.
Who needs fearful ai I say.

In honor of MrP! - he sent the code! I came in 2nd place - I hit the wrong button!
OK - I'd like to announce the 4th chick - oh make that the 5th one has been named.
The name is Haskell - the story will be told later.

So, this is the tally thus far:
1. Bloof - whom I now like to refer to as Sploof Bloof Bloof Sploof!
2. Pumpkin - my baby doll first choice - a little petite chick she is - and feisty!
3. Buttercup - oh gracious, buttercup tis fine!
4. Waverly - that is the bird I think flew into the feeder on the video I shared - on another article I recall.
5. The newly named "Haskell"....so
6. ???

Just one last one to name - tis perhaps the biggest chick in there - but pecking order remains to be determined - they all are perty feisty cepting maybe Sploof Bloof!

Peace!
OK some names are happening - here they are:
Pumpkin - she is the little one. I'm most fond of this hen.
Butter-cup - she is the one cuter than all out. You pick her out.
There is one who flaps her wings - a name for her was chosen - just can't remember it now. I remember - I named her “waverly”.
One other I gave to my daughter being she had a brooding hen needed a chick.
That leaves just three two more to be named. There were seven to start of with and the black one tis already named “Bloof”.
After that - they are the chickens in the coop already setup - cause I plan in advance....don't you?
