Our trip to the farm store

Today we made a trip to Rural King to get some chickens to eventually put in our freezer.  I'm not sure Todd will let the kids and me go by ourselves again.  We did end up with 75 Cornish Cross chicks (the meat birds) but we also came home with 4 Bantam chicks (for pets for the kids), 3 Araucana chicks (these chickens lay different colored eggs - light blue and green, mostly) and 30 Buff Orpingtons to replace our laying hens next fall. (How can you resist these cute little chicks which also happened to be on a great sale?)
