Chick Day

Growing up in the city, we didn't have chickens and all our eggs came from Safeway. My kids have recently been asking for some chickens and we have been looking into it, especially since we are allowed to have them in our subdivision as long as we don't have a rooster. In the spring, the local Ace Hardware store has "chick day" and has lots of baby chicks available for purchase. We took the kids by to let them see them and as hard as it was, we left there empty handed. Whew. Did I mention we have duck hunting dog that lives in the backyard?! Wonder how she would feel about chickens.
