Some Chicks and I

A chick I work with, Kerry, and I, were out on a chick run on Friday...  There were 54 chicks in all to be picked up, 55 including Kerry I suppose.  That is a lot of chirping and peeping and chick'n for a guy like myself.

First things first, we get into a pick up truck with plenty of room.  Whilst transporting and moving 54/55 chicks, one needs lots of space.

Next it was off to the Lucknow Co-op.  There is no other sure-fire location to score a chick than at a co-operative store.  Especially this time of year.  (We weren't the only 2 in line to pool chicks...)

We unloaded these chicks and immediately got them some heat and food.  There is nothing better to make a first impression on a bunch of chicks than warmth and comestibles.  Yes, it was a red district for sure with them lamps turned on.

After that nature takes over.  The chicks immediately knew what to do and how to do it.  Their new living quarters was bedded nicely with saw dust and wood chips.  We locked the cats out though.  Apparently cats and chicks aren't a good match for one another, mostly on the chick side, at this time and place.
