Chicken Daze

Thursday, March 24, 2022

Today, it’s back to work after a couple of days off with unusually warm weather. That felt wonderful and I accomplished several area goals.

A trio of new chicks resides in the dog kennel that’s inside the chicken coop. In a few weeks, they’ll join the older flock. Two sets of baby chicks in brooders have been transferred to larger brooders. Those transfers which might not sound like much were important. In a short time, all the babies again will graduate and eventually become integrated into one flock.

That flock might or might not include a rooster.

I had time to write on my magazine article. It felt finished, but maybe that’s not so. This week I’ll shred parts maybe not necessary and tighten the narrative. Writing is like bringing home a baby chick, or in other words, starting what seems easy and finding it’s not.

It’s time to wrap this up and get ready to go to work. Today, an early start with baby chickens in the store and needing pre-opening attention.
