And there were ... 135

...New baby chicks.

We ordered 75 broiler chicks to raise for meat. DH thought maybe we should have gone with 100, but in the mean time the cows got in the chicken pens in the barn and wrecked them. So we were going to use the smaller pen.

At the feed mill's chick day, Poultry Pullman boxes were stacked up all over the office.

The manager said that by the way, some people had not called for their chicks and they had a few extra.

We volunteered to take some ... 10 at first.

At the end of the day they came up with 100 extra.

We agreed to take 50 more. With those 50 and the first 10 extras, we now have 135.

Next project: Working on a bigger pen!
