New additions

Yesterday my friend Brenda and I headed out to Gresham to pick up a replacement for Maisy and an "extra" chick in case another one dies or one turns out to be a rooster. I got another buff Orpington (like Maisy) and a silver-laced Wyandotte. They were both extremely cute chicks, but I wasn't organized enough to take photos this time. It's going to be hard to decide which chicken to get rid of (the city only allows you to have three, and now we have seven for the both of us). I guess we'll pick the unfriendliest or least productive (or the rooster). Luckily there is high demand for grown chickens, so it shouldn't be a problem to find her a home.

Speaking of homes, my mail-order coop from Coops4You arrived a few days ago. I had it sent to work so someone would be around to sign for it. It's REALLY heavy. I haven't brought it home yet - I'm waiting for more people to be around next week (they're all at a meeting now) so they can help me move it to my car.
