Chicken Bliss in Full Swing

Well, Chicken Bliss is officially in full swing!  We travelled down to Wewoka (lots farther than we thought) to pick up our chicks last week.  As it happened, an earthquake was going on in Prague; I was driving and kept telling Lance that I was having trouble keeping the van on the road- I just chalked it up to I-40 :)
Then we decided to eat in Shawnee since we were SO close.  And it was a LOT closer to dinner than we had planned.  Like almost 8pm.  That is sort of close to dinner time, just the wrong side of close.  We were going to eat at the Hamburger King, but it was closing, so we had to go somewhere else.  From the screaming that ensued you would think we were torturing some of the kids: Chicken Bliss quickly turned into Chicken Hell in a Handbasket.  But we made it home all in one piece and with full bellies.   Since then it has been quite a chore keeping everyone on task, especially since E killed one chick.  Now everyone is on guard duty. 

They are now getting big enough that we are worried they are going to be able to jump out of the brooder-- Lance is building a lid tonight!
