PLEASSSSSSSSE PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sooooo happy, but also worried.  I will explain..........
Two nights ago my little 4yr old had a fever and we were just about out of Motrin.  Our local grocery, just 5 mi away had just closed 2o min before and I was going to have drive another 7mi past that one to the next town and get some..................I WASN"T WANTING TO GO!  :-(  Well upon walking in the store I stopped to read the community board, and low and behold................THERE WAS A FLYER FOR 4 MONTH OLD LAYING HENS FOR SALE!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!  :-) 
WELL we were able to pick them up tonight.  We got 11 hens and one rooster tonight that are about 4 months old.  They are an assortment of Buffs, Barred Rock and Red Stars. We had to hurray and put together a temporary pen for them for the night.  If you recall our 26 Red Star Sex Links were slaughtered a couple months ago by racoons.  We took that completely down, racked the area etc.  These new chickens are inside our goat yard.  We made a "lean to" of the north side of the barn with a sheet of plywood for a roof and two posts on each corner and then wrapped chain link fence around all three sides.  We will be making a much better coop as soon as we get time.
 
Anywho............please pray for safety for my new chickens as I am a bit (ok alot) nervous.  :-)  We even got a rooster this time to help protect them.

 

THANK YOU!!!
