Thought you all might like to see what is in store for our chicks in the future. They will (after their fostering experience) be living at a local farm in the area. Here is a picture of it:
We already have four families signed up to foster but we have space for one more! If you are interested in fostering, please come to the library and request to see a Chick Packet. You will need to read it in its entirety so you can learn all about such uplifting topics as "how to prevent pasty butt" and "what to do if your chick looks like he (or she) just ran a marathon."
If all goes as planned hopefully we will reach our goal of 20 chicks. Maybe even more!
Looking back to last year, we actually hatched chicks on St. Patrick's Day since Easter was so early. I remember one of our babies was named Patrick for just that reason. If you have a good idea for a name, you can send it on! No guarantees though...last year our choices were rather inspired.
Broadway Gal,
ReplyDeleteHow many servings is 20 chicks? Just curious.
Will the chicks be living in the red building on the left (in the photo)?
ReplyDeleteCauli,
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be "how many servings *are* 20 chicks," since servings is a plural noun, thereby requiring a plural verb? Broadway Gal, give us a ruling, please (since you were an English major and all).
Servings!? You horrid cat! They are serving us up servings of cuteness! Not little bite size McNuggets! (Broadway Gal huffs off stage and leaves Cauli demurely licking one paw in the center of the stage as the lights dim.)
ReplyDeleteSuz,
ReplyDeleteAre there any prizes for patrons who suggest the "winning" names? Free bookmarks are always welcome.
No prizes. The joy of winning will have to be enough!
ReplyDeleteI meant to reply back to Shady Creek Stations's question...the Red Building is not the chicken building. Rather the white building is the main farm building. It houses goats, chickens, and all the farming implements. Hope that answers your question!
