Can't Wait for Monday - The Chicks are Coming!!!

We're getting so excited at my house and can hardly wait for Monday when we go pick up our new chicks.  I started sprouting the grain today that we're going to need to start feeding them.  I also contacted the hatchery where we're getting our birds and am taking advantage of a great opportunity to give back to the community.

Meyer Hatchery (http://www.meyerhatchery.com/) in Polk, OH offers what they call a Meyer Meal Maker to anyone to orders birds from them.  It's a free chick that they will give you with every order as long as you agree to give the eggs or meat produced to a local family or charity.  We value giving back to our community and were already planning to give away eggs that we couldn't use.  Even though we'll only be getting a few eggs a week, this seemed like a great opportunity to make sure we have eggs to give to others on a more regular basis.  I can't wait to see what kind of chicken we get.

I posted what our birds will look like as adults in my first post earlier this week but I thought I would put in some pictures of what the'll look like on Monday when I pick them up.  They are so cute and I think different enough that we'll be able to tell them apart.
