Today was day one as a Mother Hen! I picked up my 6 chicks at The Natural Pet Center in Gardiner after having an awesome morning shopping spree and breakfast break in New Paltz. My best friend Sam drove the two of us to the pet store since I was still really sore from my wisdom teeth removal...plus, she knew I would be too excited to drive home with the little birdies in the car! We came home with 6 chicks as I said--3 Araucana and 3 Cuckoo Maran. The aracaunas include 2 blonde colored chicks and a brown one, and all 3 marans are black with a white fuzzy circle atop their little heads. All of the chicks were excited to be in their new home--a cozy storage container heated to a tropical vacation temperature--90 degrees F. I will decrease this temperate by 5 degrees with each week that goes by. All of the chicks are really sleepy from the drive home, and from only being 3 days old. All of the girls were born on Wednesday May 27th.
