Well, we did it. We finally got a pet. Six pets, to be exact. I wasn’t sure if we were ready, but now that we have them, holy cow, I am in love.

We were going to order from the local feed shop, but due to time and the selection of breeds available, we decided to order through My Pet Chicken. Our friend, Kit, ordered 3 with our 6 and on the morning of Thursday, May 21st, we got the call from the post office. I love my job, but that morning there was nothing I wanted more than to stay home and watch these tiny fluff balls.

When I finally did get home from work, I am pretty sure I spent about 2 hours just staring at them. Okay, maybe not 2 hours, but a really long time. Long enough that when I walked out of that room with the red heat lamp, everything had a weird green glow for a while.

More on the birds later, but photos for now!
